Tribology India Limited was established in 1984 by Sundaram Industries Limited of  the TVS Group in collaboration with HEF France. In the last three decades, Tribology India has grown into a technology leader in the area of Surface modification to improve wear and corrosion. A number of proprietary processes have been developed by the strong Research and Development Team to enhance surface properties of engineering components.

The aim of the company was to provide processes and technical services to extend the life and improve performance of the engineering components. The foundation the company was built on was knowledge and after more than a decade, knowledge still remains the company's biggest asset. Every type of machinery includes parts affected by friction, lubrication, and wear. Therefore, the role of tribology in machine operation and reliability is a major one. As a result, the effect of tribology to modern world economy is crucial.

Most Tribological problems that arise from friction and wear result from inter-play of mechanical, chemical and physical properties of the contacting materials. Solutions to tribological problems can be found in better mechanical design, effective lubricants and improved materials and services.

The company has acquired technologies for manufacture of sophisticated thermal treatment equipment from world majors. The company's in house R&D efforts continuously update the knowledge base.

In addition the company interacts with universities and research organizations to find solutions to varied problems. This entire package is offered to clients as customized solutions to meet their individual problems.

A multi-disciplinary team of experts of Material Science, Metallurgy and Mechanical Engineering make the services available to the customer at his door steps. The company has established branches in strategic centres of industrial importance. They are in Chennai And Pune.

To meet the exacting standards of different heat treatment processes, Tribology India entered into strategic alliances with companies in USA & Europe and acquired technologies and latest equipment. This had an advantage of producing subsequent machines in India either under the guidance of foreign companies or on the basis of their technologies and drawings.

Recently the company has started the manufacturing of soft jaws used in CNC turning centres. These are cold drawn, heat treated and precision machined. These are manufactured to suit the stringent requirements of the American market.
