Staff Correspondent

CHENNAI: The UPS (uninterrupted power supply) system manufacturer, Numeric Power Systems, has joined hands with the France-based company, Socomec SA, to market the latter's products in India.

The new joint venture — Socomec-Numeric UPS Pvt. Ltd. — will have an equal partnership. Initially, it will have a capital investment of Rs. 2 crore.

This will go up to Rs. 10 crore by the end of the year, according to R. Chellappan, founder and Managing Director of Numeric.

Addressing a press conference here on Friday, Mr. Chellappan said that in the first year, the company would be targeting revenue of Rs. 8 crore.

Mr. Chellappan said Numeric had captured 70 per cent of the market in the single-phase UPS segment. With this joint venture, it would enter into the three-phase UPS segment.

He said Socomec UPS would be imported from various factories located in Italy, France and China.

The Managing Director of Socomec UPS Asia, Jean-Marc Gautier, said his company would not rule out the possibility of manufacturing in India.
