Haresh Sippy, the chief founder of Tema India Ltd., was a witness to several developments like the torispherical dished end being manufactured in the country for the very first time & also the very first welded air receiver (pressure vessel) made in the country. He further went on to learn the skills of manufacturing and designing the very first heat exchanger (after-cooler for compressors) in the country in the year 1967 and later on took an active role in the development of the 'shell and tube condenser' for a cold storage plant. Later he gained experience in maintenance work of 'floating head' type shell and tube heat exchangers in petroleum refineries.In 1972, Mr. Sippy started his own small-scale workshop called Leo Engineering Works, which manufactured 'Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers'. This company manufactured heat exchangers & parts thereof for both Esso as well as Burmah Shell petroleum refineries, now known as Hindustan Petroleum and Bharat Petroleum respectively. These exchangers, which were made to TEMA-R specification, were mainly floating head types with Naval Brass tube sheets and Cu-Ni (70-30) tubes with Monel lining of channels & FTS covers. Mr. Sippy pioneered the development of Monel weld deposit on CS tubesheet blanks.In 1987, Mr. Sippy joined hands with Mr. Chetan Doshi and Mr. Khushroo Bulsara to set up TEMA INDIA LTD. Starting with a modest turnover of US $ 100,000 and progressing to achieve a turnover of US $ 35 million in the year 2005-06, TEMA is today amongst the largest manufacturers of Tema-R range of heat exchangers in the country.Mr. Sippy's driving force is the result of the strong passion he has for this product line.We in TEMA are the beneficiaries of his insight in this field and his belief in well-synchronized teamwork. We are guided and motivated to totally focus our efforts to achieve our targets."We strongly believe in his vision of being a global force for the entire range of heat exchangers in times to come.
