For MRO-Tek FY 2000-01 has been significant on two counts. One, it dared to be the first networking and access solutions company in the country to get listed on the Indian bourses. Two, it became the largest value-added distributor of networking products in the country with a total business of Rs 127 crore. Carrying RAD, Zyxel, Extreme, Globaloop, it did total RAD branded product sales worth Rs 108.03 crore, Zyxel sales of Rs 9.70 crore, Extreme sales worth Rs 5.50 crore, and the rest on account of Globaloop, cobalt.

It is the unanimous digital modem king in the country. With a total sales of Rs 81 crore in digital modems, the company today accounts for 60 percent of the total digital modem market. And again in the access multiplexers market it has the second largest market share after Alcatel’s revenue of Rs 26.50 crore. If it were not for the delay in policy guidelines by the government and certain customers, it would have done still better.

The success for MRO-Tek comes because of its positioning as a local manufacturer of well-suited products for the India and the SAARC markets. The key strength of MRO has been its engineering skills and a host of LAN-WAN solutions. In fact, manufacturing accounts for over 40 percent of its total revenue and this figure is going to be very high in the coming years.
