Amber Enterprises India Ltd. Background

Amber is a Punjab based component manufacturer with expertise in manufacturing room air conditioning parts. It was incorporated in the year 1990. Since there is an increasing number of prospects for air conditioning and refrigeration, the company enjoys a lot of sales and market visibility.

India shows a relatively dim susceptibility of AC equipment, but statistics show that air conditioning needs are going to increase in the coming years.

Many international companies already have manufacturing plants in India, enabling them to push through sales. Amber Enterprises also shows positive signs in terms of future growth. Another big advantage of Amber Enterprises India Ltd. is that they have 11 manufacturing plants built around their core customer ground for increased efficiency and service management.

All this combined effort garnered them a total of 55% market share in the fiscal year of 2017 while the market share in RAC is 19.1. They also decorate advisory roles in helping out organizations in meeting their refrigeration needs. They have a comprehensive portfolio of customers including LG, Panasonic, Hitachi, Daikin, Whirlpool, Blue star and Voltas.
