Established in 1982 by chairman K. M. Gosrani, the GOMA group of companies has more than 4 decades of experience in designing, manufacturing, and executing projects on a turnkey basis for dairy, food, juice, and beverage processing in India and various countries of Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. The company was awarded the innovation leader in dairy technology by the TPCI (Trade Promotional Council of India) MSME export excellence awards in January 2022.

Amol S.Maind, deputy general manager-marketing process technologies, and equipment division, GOMA, talked about the company and said, “We are currently working on projects for dairy ice cream, fruit juice, and beverages. We also cater to specialized lines like vegan products, margarine, and mayonnaise. GOMA is an ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001 certified company. We give end-to-end solutions to our clients from raw materials to trials to formulations for setting up their plants in dairy and liquid foods.”

GOMA supplies tailor-made processing units for the ice cream industry. It also offers dairy plants for processing liquid milk, UHT milk, flavored milk, yogurt, ghee, butter, paneer, cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and milk powder among others. The range of equipment available includes mixing vats, blenders, homogenizers, aging vats, continuous freezers, ripple pumps, fruit feeders, candy plants, and cup/ cone filling machines among others.

In-house R&D for better results

To stay ahead of the competition, conducting R&D is a step in the right direction.  According to Maind, whenever a new line is being offered to customers, it involves intensive in-house research by their in-house R&D team. Trials of products such as vegan milk and beverages are conducted by the team for providing efficient processing solutions to customers. Maind added, “When clients need to do trials on their products, we offer them our R&D center on a day-to-day basis.”

The pandemic aftermath

The COVID pandemic disrupted businesses worldwide due to a shortage of labor, and resources, and the loss of jobs. Sharing his experience during the period, Maind said, “During the pandemic, we were fortunate that we are working in the food industry. We did experience some jerks but for the past year, companies are getting good business and so are we.”

Sharing his learnings from the global pandemic, he said that companies should make efforts to work online as well as offline and indulge in online business promotions. “It has led to an improvement in marketing styles as well as selling skills,” he added.

The year 2023 has been declared the “International Year of Millets” by the Indian government to make it a people’s movement so that Indian millet, recipes, and value-added products are accepted worldwide. Maind informed us that GOMA is proudly contributing to this cause for the past two years. The company is working on two projects currently, one on oat milk and the other wholly dedicated to millet for producing solid products.

Future plans and vision

Maind said that going forward, GOMA is targeting the food sector which accounts for 60% of their turnover. The company is also expanding its pharmaceutical and chemical business. He added, “We have already started with the manufacturing strength expansion.” Functioning in the industry for the last 40 years, he believes that the most important thing that GOMA offers to its customers is trust. GOMA provides technology and end-to-end solutions from concept to commissioning.
