Speedofer believes in the ‘zero defect-zero effect’ concept

Speedofer R&D Centre, 2Established in 2007, Speedofer Components is a high-tech enterprise specialised in manufacturing manganese zinc soft ferrites in India. It exports its products to Europe, UK and the Far East

By Belal Khan

During the period 2000-2005, when the Indian lighting sector, particularly the compact fluorescent lamp segment, was witnessing double digit growth rates, soft ferrite cores were not available easily. To procure the ferrite cores required to make inductors and transformers, without which the electronic circuits cannot be assembled, one had to wait for eight weeks or more for the material to arrive from China.
Also, the material then available was not up to the quality standards, resulting in the final product tolerances varying too widely for a reliable product line. Cosmetic defects were common, causing line hold-ups. An even greater inconvenience, lack of inventory control, meant that companies could not keep up with the rapid design changes in transformers and inductors, leading to large volumes of dead stock.
This is when the promoter of Speedofer, B.S. Randhawa, decided to start a manufacturing unit right in the heart of the consumer electronics industry in the National Capital Region (NCR) in India. Speedofer was set up in 2007-2008.

Products manufactured by the company
Speedofer manufactures soft ferrite cores for power applications, EMI (electromagnetic interference) suppression applications and filter applications. The cores are composed of MnZn (manganese zinc), and are available in a wide range of geometries and sizes and in different material characteristics.
Speedofer also supplies NiZn (nickel zinc), iron dust powder cores, sendust cores, MPP cores and other customised ferrite cores for special applications.
The typical product applications are for CFL lighting, LED lighting, set-top boxes, energy meters and SMPS.
Ferrite components and accessories from Speedofer are used in applications that range from telecommunications and computing electronics, to consumer electronics and automotive products.
