INNOVATION
Pushing boundaries, pursuing excellence.
Our Approach to Innovation
Innovation has always been the cornerstone of Forbes Marshall. We combine steam and control systems technologies to build unique offerings for the process industry. Through collaborative partnerships with our customers and leveraging our 75 years of experience, we derive our innovations from the ever-changing demands of our customers, blending them with insights accumulated over decades of experience.
How we do it
Our team is dedicated to research and development and its remarkable potential in designing products positioned for tomorrow. A driving factor for this is entrepreneurship, enabling us to deliver continuous value to our customers, and spanning diverse disciplines ranging from mechanical to electrical specialisations. Twice a month, our team sets aside time to nurture their creativity, irrespective of current commitments. These sessions are accessible to everyone, encompassing dynamic roles, teams, and perspectives. This initiative adds considerable value to our team.
At Forbes Marshall, R&D works extensively with leading research and academic organisations in the US, Europe and India to enrich new product development. The annual R&D Dare to Try event, where engineers are tasked with solving a technical challenge within a specified timeframe, is a highly acclaimed occasion. Moreover, products such as the Two Orifice Float Trap, Mini Max Boiler, SteaMon and Master Air Control have won coveted design awards.
We Innovate to Meet Industry Needs
Our in-depth customer knowledge fuels our innovation. We are not just product vendors. We provide solutions and to address specific needs. This results in a constant flow of differentiated products, backed by decades of manufacturing and technical expertise.
Our teams are invested in finding tactical ways to improve performance, with many of these ideas evolving into practical solutions that enrich our offerings and strategies for product development.

Innovation fuels our ongoing pursuit of excellence and empowers us to continuously evolve. Pushing boundaries is what inspires us. Through this lens, we look towards the future with inspiration, optimism and anticipation.
Cultural and Educational Diversity
We celebrate cultural and educational diversity, recognizing it as a cornerstone of innovation and growth. This diversity enriches our team, drives creative solutions, and enhances our ability to understand and serve a global clientele.
This philosophy is also reflected in our campus recruitment strategy, which aims to blend talent sourced locally and from beyond. We additionally invite international students for internship opportunities. This not only brings to the table unique perspectives and contributions, but also enriches organisational culture.
Building on this diversity, our ‘Second Innings’ programme provides opportunities for individuals returning to corporate life after a hiatus of over two years. Through an internship model, we facilitate a smooth transition back into the workforce, enabling them to embark on their second innings with confidence.
Wellness Diversity
At Forbes Marshall, we are committed to fostering a holistic approach to health, encompassing physical and emotional well-being. We have several employee assistance programmes that promote a balanced lifestyle through various aspects like stress management, exercise, diet control and mental wellbeing.
Our commitment is reflected in our engagement with specialists in the field. Together, we offer a holistic approach to supporting the wellness of our members at every stage of their lives. One such initiative is ‘mom@work,’ offering personalised one-on-one coaching for working mothers to navigate challenges during and after childbirth, which also welcomes the spouses of our male members. Our peer support groups for parenting and caregivers for the elderly provide a sense of mutual encouragement. We also provide access to resources like discreet counselling services and lifestyle management.
Generational Diversity
Each generation brings in unique skills and perspectives shaped by their life experiences and societal influences. At Forbes Marshall, each member’s voice is heard. We promote inclusive practices that integrate and value contributions from all generations to foster a cohesive and innovative culture. Our reverse mentoring programme is one such example where younger members of the organisation mentor their senior counterparts, fostering mutual learning and understanding. Through such initiatives we harness the collective wisdom and dynamism that spans across age groups, and enhances our ability to adapt and thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
