Our Mission

Our Mission

Do not go where the path leads, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail...

POWERMASTER started as a one man operation from a dining table in the founder’s home. Today it has grown into a dynamic 600 plus person work force distributed over nine manufacturing facilities and six offices.

We will endeavor to ensure customer delight by delivering a quality product at competitive prices through our worldwide network of offices, distributors and sales agents all within a few days of ordering.

Business Philosophy

We will produce products equal to or better than the best available in the world. At the same time we also must provide our customers with added values.

Delivery

Delivery

We use our price advantage to increase our inventory levels to an extent that higher cost manufacturers would find difficult to match. We ship out most orders the same day via UPS, FedEX or DHL to our customers worldwide so it reaches them within days of their order. Automated inventory control, web based ordering systems and flexible stocking programs available to Powermaster distributors enables the customer to receive Powermaster product in the shortest possible time frame.

Our Community

Our Community

We use over a hundred and twenty machine shops to manufacture components for us which we finally inspect and certify before taking up for assembly. This “asset light” business model has helped us scale up much faster than “asset heavy” competitors. There are over six hundred persons working in these shops who depend on Powermaster for their livelihood. We have a moral responsibility to make sure that they continue to receive more work and are paid on time. We pride ourselves on paying all our suppliers faster than most companies. They are part of the Powermaster family.

Our prices would be among the most competitive available worldwide, adding value to the customer. Over the years we have saved Powermaster customers in over 120 countries hundreds of millions of dollars when compared to prices they have paid some of our competitors.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing

We will strive toward being in the top 3 global volume producers of each product line we manufacture. If we are not already in the top 3 or cannot see our self in the top 3 in the foreseeable future, we will exit those product lines. Powermaster is already among the top 3 producers of its Tube Tool and Spring Balancer product lines worldwide. The journey is now on to grow our Bolting Tool product line and the Beveling and Facing Machine product lines to be among the top 3 volume producers worldwide.
