With 55% of the revenue for 2017-18 coming from India, ELGi wants overseas markets to contribute more than half its revenue in 2 to 3 years. Acquiring Pulford will allow ELGi to more than double the share of its Australian market in the same period, a topic that the Times of India explores in depth.

Established in 1925, over its near century of operations, Pulford has developed a diverse range of products and services, helping it maintain a leading position in the Australian compressor market. As per Autocar Professional, the company has seen revenues rise from A$15.8 million in FY17 to A$18 million in FY18, with the Sydney based company now owning 5% of the market.
