The Southern India Engifneering Manufacturers' Association (SIEMA) was founded in the year 1952, with a sole aim of representing and protecting the interests of Micro, Small, Medium and Large Scale Engineering Industries of this Region. Most of our members are engaged in manufacture of

	Electric Motors
	Monoblocks
	Pumps
	Submersible Pumpsets
	Diesel Engines
	Foot Valves etc to cater agricultural sector
	Centrifugal and Centripetal Pumps
	Textile Machineries, Spares and Parts
	Starters & Switches
	Air and Borewell Compressor Pumps
	Rough Castings, Steel Castings, S.G. Iron Castings and
	Auto Components

The main objective of the Association is to inculcate awareness and provide platform to share knowledge and best practices in Manufacturing. The Association also acts as a forum to represent the member’s grievances to the Government and other agencies.

In the year 1930 the first pump was produced in Coimbatore and in 1937 the first motor in India was produced in Coimbatore. Production of monoblocks, domestic pumps followed subsequently. Coimbatore units are now diversifying into manufacturing of Industrial Pumps to meet the growing demand in many parts of our Country. Nearly 45% of the Country's requirements of pumpsets are being met by Coimbatore units. Coimbatore pumps are being exported for the past 25 years. This is due to quality, reliability and performance achieved by incorporating design changes to suit the site conditions.

Significant achievement of SIEMA is the awareness created amongst its members regarding producing quality Products. The total number of BIS Licensees in and around Coimbatore are more than 300 which is the largest at a single place in our Country. Our Association has close relationship with Bureau of Indian Standards in connection with the formulation of Indian Standards connected with the agricultural pumpsets. Considering this, BIS, New Delhi has given representations in the various Sectional Committee.

SIEMA is involved with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, Ministry of Power, Government of India to formulate standards for Energy conservation in Motor and Pumps. Subsequently, a Technical Committee has been formed to study the above subject with the representatives of IEEMA, IPMA, AIEMMA, ICPC and few leading motor pump manufacturers in this region.

SIEMA celebrated Golden Jubilee in the year 2002.

SIEMA is the major promoter of Si’Tarc and COINDIA.
