Introduction: Pengg Usha Martin has successfully adopted
and incorporated the vast experience and
Pengg Usha Martin considerable expertise of its parent companies,
Joh Pengg and Usha Martin and hence delivering
excellence to customers every step of the way.
The last word in high quality
oil hardened and tempered
steel wires
A company specialised in the manufacture of wire for use in a
variety of products and applications, Pengg Usha Martin has
achieved international recognition within the fields of automobile
and mechanical engineering.
What sets us apart? The highest degree of dimensional accuracy,
precision in mechanical properties, a thorough knowledge of the
metallurgical processes involved, a close working relationship with
our customers and focused attention to their requirements.
These qualities represent at the same time, our motto and our
standards. The foundation of these standards have been laid with
the help of our collaborator Joh Pengg, Austria who have many
years of metal working experience, originating in the mid 13th
century and continued to the present day by their skill and technical
competence.
