Mechanised Parking – One name, Concrete Solution
Aditya Bhave, Director, Klaus Multiparking India.
Share with us the effective and space-efficient approach of Klaus Multiparking solutions to address the parking space concerns in major metro cities?
The big metro cities in India are only getting bigger and space is becoming more of a premium every single day. KLAUS Multiparking is able to provide a solution which can ensure the maximum space utilization without compromising comfort to the end user, so they do not need to worry about their car once it is in the system. With a multilevel parking system there is the possibility to go up to a maximum of 10 parking pallets in the footprint of 1 parking space which can free up a lot of space for amenities. Apart from the space constraint, cars parked in a system are also safe from theft or damage as compared to parking on a street outside your home and office. And lastly users do not need to drive around for several minutes to find a parking spot, thereby reducing fuel consumption and having a net positive effect on the environment.
Tell us about the structured, coherent practices and pioneering technically advanced solutions KLAUSMultiparking solutions have to offer with a future focus?
KLAUSMultiparking was one of the first entrants to the mechanized parking industry in the year 2002 and since the early years we have invested in developing a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Shirwal near Pune. All the products that are delivered in the domestic market are manufactured in our factory, and in addition we are also exporting systems to North America, Europe and Asia. With German technology at heart and cost-efficient manufacturing in India we are able to deliver the best value to our customers. In terms of manufacturing itself we have a complete in-house process with robotic welding, laser cutting, CNC bending and powder coating. Since we have maximum facilities in-house, we are able to control the product quality and also reduce the overall manufacturing lead times from months to weeks.
Which sectors and segments have benefitted from your value added services?
We take great pride to be associated with top developers and architects across the country. Over the last two decades we have completed hundreds of projects and delivered more than 80,000 car spaces across the entire geography of our country. This includes all types of segments such as residential, commercial offices, hotels, malls, cinemas and even hospitals. In addition to our projects, we also have a superb network of skilled service engineers that carry out preventive maintenance of the systems all over the country and can also attend any customer queries any time of the day.
What are the future business projections of KLAUS Multiparking and hereafter the prospects for Multiparking industry in India and globally?
We have been in India for almost 2 decades now with a footprint in all the major cities across the country, and our vast geography presents us with challenges but also a greater number of opportunities. With the introduction of government initiatives like GST & RERA we believe that the construction industry will see a huge growth not only in terms of quantity of units sold but also the quality of construction. We are and have always been very optimistic about India, and today our country is on the cusp of huge economic and technological growth with the highest number of young people in the world who have an aspiration to own a home and a car, and therefore we believe that the multilevel car parking industry shall become a very common technology in the coming decade.
