Vidhan Bhandari
Country Manager
Can you walk us through your pro-fessional journey?
In 2006, I completed my engineering degree in the mechanical stream and embarked on my professional journey through a campus placement. I was fortunate to be recruited by a leading material handling manu-facturing company in Pune, where I worked for more than 10 years. During this time, I gained valuable hands-on experience in product sales, honed my marketing abilities, fostered an innovative mindset, and sharpened my problem solving skills. Progressing from a technical sales engineer to managerial roles like general manager and product line manager, I had the opportunity to expand the company's international market presence. Later I joined a Spanish global leader and managed complex engineering projects across sectors. With expertise and leadership skills, I successfully contributed to the organization. I oversaw operations and expanded into different cities in India. During my tenure, I was approached by my current organization, DALMEC, an Italian multinational specializing in
PNEUMATIC MATERIAL HANDLING solutions. Having operations in over 50 countries, DALMEC appointed me as the country manager for India. In this role, I oversee multiple departments, including sales, technical engineering, after sales services, HR, accounts, and finance. Leveraging my technical expertise and management skills, I drive business growth, cultivate strong customer relationships, and ensure efficient project execution. I have been fulfilling these responsibilities for more than five years, continuing to contribute to DALMEC's success.

Dalmec distinguishes itself in industrial manipulators with a strong commitment to customization and excellence. Unlike other manufacturers, we prioritize customization for each balancing cylinder, resulting in highly effective load-balancing capa-bilities. Our systems have an impressive weight handling capacity of up to 1500 kg, show casing their reliability. With over 60 years of specialized expertise, we focus solely on industrial manipulators, experiencing consistent organic growth. Our exclusive features include infinite rotation, patented equo balancing technology for zero gravity movements, and specialized solutions for challenging environments. Safety and ergonomic standards are paramount, evidenced by the trust and satisfaction of our existing clients.
What guidance would you offer to an aspiring leader in the industry?
My advice to young leaders: Stay true to yourself, approach each day with enthusiasm, and remember the passion you had on your first day. Stay humble, nurture ambition, and avoid job-hopping. Despite the temptations to jump from one job to another, seeking better titles or higher positions, I realized the signi-ficance of having a long term vision and consistently working towards it. There are no shortcuts to success. Believe in the process, work consistently, and success will follow.
What’s the road ahead for DALMEC?
One big thing to look forward to is our new corporate office and showroom which is under construction, and we should be ready to move to our new state-of-the-art building by October 2023. This is going to be a huge motivation not only for me but my entire team which will showcase our brand bigger and better than ever before and at the same time give our employees a home they would be proud to come and work. We also look to strengthen our hold on the African market which also comes under me.
