Engine manufacturing segment has seen tremendous growth in the past few
decades led by manufacturing excellence and technological sophistication. The rise
in energy demand in the manufacturing industry has led to the growth in the engine
sales and of the gas and Diesel engine manufacturing companies. In the years to
come, reports suggest that the global diesel engine and gas engine is likely to grow
at a CAGR of 2.6% and 4.1% respectively owing to the rise in automobile and
machinery production. Engine manufacturing companies like Cooper Corporation
has been instrumental in chalking out a growth story of their own by contributing

Significantly to the Indian manufacturing scenario. While diesel engine has long been
preferred, there has been a rise in the user base for gas engines, making them one
of the renowned Gas engine manufacturers as well. All these factors go to suggest
the company’s efforts to integrate with the contemporary technology, their
investment in human capital as well as their efforts to maintain the trust and good-will
of the customers world-wide.

From Designing to Manufacturing of contemporary engines

Cooper Corporation is into the designing, manufacturing and distribution of engines,
generators and engine components. With a manufacturing history of over fifty years,
Cooper the company has distributing their products through a well-established
network nationally as well as globally to several Original Equipment Manufacturers
and other automotive companies. Being one of the well-known engine
manufacturing companies of India, Cooper manufactures 1-,2-,3-,4-, and 6-
cylinder engines in diesel, CNG, LPG variants in their facility based in Satara. These
engines are available in the capacity varying from 10 KVA to 250 KVA in both diesel
and gas variants. With the right technology in place, Cooper is among the renowned
diesel engine manufacturing company and has now launched a full range of
engines in the range of 5 hp to 1000 hp.

Designing engines is a long-drawn process that can take up to 3 years to design one
and manpower to execute as well. The technical collaboration with Ricardo, UK has
not only helped Cooper develop new-age technology engines, but has also innovate
efficient and high-performance engines for specific and varied purposes. As a well-
known gas engine manufacturer, Cooper engines are now being used for a host of
applications including automotive, defence, marine, agricultural and construction
equipment too. The collaboration with Ricardo has seen Cooper launch over 52
models of engines within six years of the collaboration. Since engines comprises of
over 700 parts, a number of engine components are also manufactured at the
Cooper foundry. These include cylinder liners, cylinder sleeves, crankshafts, flywheel
etc. They are manufactured to fit the use of both gas engine and diesel engine.
Needless to mention, all the engines are designed to meet the future emission norms
as well as ensure that they deliver best-in-class fuel efficient engines.

Compliance with emission norms of respective countries

Cooper Corporation is one of the best-known diesel manufacturing companies
having 11 plants, 4 foundries and 1 engine facility. The company believes that since
diesel engines will be replaced by CNG, LPG and solar energy, gas engines will find
application in hybrid vehicles. They are now a renowned gas engine manufacturer
having launched a full range of engines in the medium and small powered engines.
With contemporary technology and best-in class infrastructure, Cooper has always
been on the forefront in adopting the new and advanced methods of manufacturing.
Recently, Cooper has been awarded with Jaguar Land Rover Award for Quality
Excellence. Cooper engines are certified by the emission and regulatory authorities
across the globe and have necessary certifications such as USEPA, Euro IV and
CPCB II in case of India. With a strong distribution network, exports to the countries
is a cinch and sales in India is ever growing.
