Sudhir Telang Machinery Components (STMC) was introduced in 1973 and sells spare parts and components for textile machines manufactured by Textile Machinery Manufacturing Company (TMMC). By 1977, STMC was manufacturing 1200 of the 3500 components used in each of the 11,000 Tasaku Textile machines. The company deals only with casting and machining of components and has seen sales doubling every year since 1973. STMC needs to determine appropriate marketing and pricing strategies as it faces competition from local suppliers and its original equipment manufacturer TMMC.
