(PRWEB) April 14, 2006 -- American LPG safety device manufacturer, Innotek Corp., has tied up with Emsydel-Myageri Electronics Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore, to manufacture and distribute a proprietary Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) safety device, in India.

Apart from the attraction of over 30-million domestic LPG user base in India, the sub-continent is viewed as an attractive manufacturing base, given its traditional manufacturing strength, engineering skills, the ability to produce quality goods, and the ability throw up all this in required numbers.

Innotek Corp., have been in the business since 1997 and were the first to introduce ‘handheld’ LPG safety device in the world. This is the first time that the company is moving beyond the American shores. And that too, to India, which it is contemplating on making its global sourcing base.

Emsydel-Myageri has a capacity to make 2000 units per day and will expand this on a need basis. Mr.Giridhar Myageri, the managing director of the company, said the company has started marketing and sales operations and expects to finalize the manufacturing operational details and begin manufacturing by October 2006. According to Suresh Doraiswamy, the executive director of the company, a nationwide launch of two models is planned in May 2006, at a price matching the US market price.

The two models to be launched are:

a.    The portable safety device gives an audible (continuous tone) alarm when it detects a dangerous level of leakage of Gas. It is handheld and is activated at the push of a button. It shuts off when not in use, to conserve battery. The battery can last up to 8 hours of continuous use.

b.    The fixed, Gas Alarm device is much like an industry standard smoke detector. The fixed safety device gives an audible (continuous tone) alarm when it detects a dangerous level of leakage of Gas. This device is always active – 24/365. It is connected to the standard 230V AC outlet.

Emsydel-Myageri Electronics Pvt. Ltd. are in the process of setting up their all-india distributor network
