SEP History

Kolhapur has been a major driving force in the foundry industry of India, well known globally. Pioneering the trends and innovatively leading the industry to new frontiers & avenues has been its major role. There are different SSI establishments in Shiroli industrial area like heavy to medium foundries (ferrous and nonferrous), forging units, hi-tech machine shops, fabrication and assembly units who are presently exporting to countries in Europe and USA.

Shiroli Manufacturers Association Kolhapur - SMAK has launched an ambitious project called SMAK Export Promotion - SEP to encourage entrepreneurs in MIDC Shiroli Industrial Estate to increase their participation in International Trade by providing them with up-to-date information on Exports.

It gives me immense pleasure that SEP has been formed to bring all its members on a common platform with the purpose to export their manufactured items.

SEP is a Pilot project in India to earn foreign exchange to our country by maximum export.

Our Vision :

The Vision of SEP is to develop globally recognized SMAK Engineering Export Cluster to promote their capabilities through systematic channel of export on international platforms as a Group and to create significant impact by way of innovation, using new technologies and developing work force with desired skills.

Our Mission :

Our Mission is Opening Global Opportunities for our motivated member companies and opening the market for our products.

SMAK has already successfully completed the MSME lean cluster project two years ago and it is successfully operational. For this SEP project we have formed a cluster of selected skilled export capable 20 MSME based companies based in MIDC shiroli engaged in Ferrous and Non- Ferrous Casting Manufacturing and Machining, Steel and Alloy Casting and Machining, Machining, Product and Fabrication.

We are interested in joint ventures between our members and foreign partners for manufacturing as well as technology transfer. As per Governments ‘Strategy for New India @75', we have intended to contribute a minimum 75 crore of export to this strategy.

We will enhance export to new international untapped markets so that it will contribute to enhancing the revenue of the State and Country as well.

I am sure SEP members would work together with a common objective so that the industry would be benefitted.

Through this platform, we aim to share information about who we are, what we do and why we do it. In addition, we provide members with training, business intelligence and opportunities. We help improve their networks of Asian and international business partners through a wide variety of channels. In short: we help our members connect and succeed in achieving their business objectives. Our vision gives us a deep conviction that our endeavour will help spur India & Asia’s role as a global trade hub and will support long-term growth for the nation & the broader region.

Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises 'MSME', National Small Industries Corporation Limited 'NSIC', Engineering Export Promotion Council 'EEPC', Directorate General of Foreign Trade 'DGFT', Export Credit Guarantee Corporation of India 'ECGC' and District Industries Centre 'DIC' is supporting this project.
