Our Company was incorporated on August 12, 1992 and was engaged in the business of aluminium castings. In 2007, we commenced operations at our manufacturing facility located at Gat No. 253/1A, Chakan - Talegaon Road, Kharabwadi, Chakan, Pune, Maharashtra, 410501. To address increasing demand, we established a second manufacturing facility at Gat No. 251/1, Plot No. 9, 10, 11, 13 (old GAT No. 2787/1), Talegaon Chakan Road, Kharabwadi, Chakan Industrial Area, Pune, Maharashtra, 410501, which started operations during the year 2021. We currently operate abovementioned two manufacturing facilities with a combined melting capacity of 13800 MT (annual) and casting and finishing capacity of approx. 6000MT (annual) as on September 30, 2025, supporting melting, casting, cleaning, engineering and machining operations. Our plant and machinery which included equipment from the melting stage to the finishing stage, covering melting furnaces, casting machines, trimming and cutting equipment, machining and associated material-handling and auxiliary systems, support the manufacturing of casting and precision components through gravity die casting (GDC), low pressure die casting (LPDC) and high pressure die casting (HPDC) processes. We are in the process of establishing an additional manufacturing unit in Pune ("Unit III"), which will be used for the production of components similar to those manufactured at our existing facilities by utilizing the net proceeds from the IPO. We are also undertaking a diversification into the manufacturing of precision components using magnesium. For this purpose, we are setting up Unit IV, which will carry out sample development and submission activities for magnesium components until customer and OEM approvals are obtained.

Our in-house design and engineering functions support the development of a range of precision engineering components and solutions and have enabled us to expand our business across different sectors. We also undertake reverse engineering activities to support customer design requirements. Our reverse engineering process involves the examination and deconstruction of customer-provided sample components to generate design data, develop drawings and prepare prototypes/models. These activities are supported by X-ray machines used for internal structure assessment of components, enabling the identification of internal profiles, cavities and dimensional characteristics required for product development. Our design and engineering team comprises 16 employees and is equipped with tools and software such as Adstefan casting simulation software, Solidcam Bundle standard software etc., which facilitate activities relating to design development, analysis, modelling and engineering support for customers.

We have established quality management systems that support compliance with customer requirements, industry standards and certification norms. Our facilities hold ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certifications for the manufacturing of machined and assembled aluminium alloy castings at Gat No. 251/1, Plot Nos. 9, 10, 11 and 13, Chakan Talegaon Road, Kharabwadi, Pune; ISO 9001:2015 certification for the facility at Gat No. 253/1A, Kharabwadi, Chakan, Pune; and IATF 16949:2016 certifications for both the above facilities. Also, our existing manufacturing facilities are subject to periodic audits by customers and certification authorities. Further, before being appointed as a supplier to OEMs or their vendors in the automotive and electric vehicle segments, we undergo a qualification and assessment process that includes facility evaluations, process audits and testing of sample components. Components supplied to automotive customers also undergo customer-specific inspection and validation procedures before purchase orders are issued. Over the years, we have received awards from customers for quality excellence, product development and supplier performance, including awards such as the Best Project Award-I Quality Improvement, Innovative Approach for Development, Quality Excellence Award, Best Casting Competition, Best Supplier Award, Gold Award etc. from our customers.

Our business operations are overseen by our management team, Key Managerial Personnel ("KMP") and Senior Managerial Personnel ("SMP"), who supervise functions relating to manufacturing, engineering, finance, supply chain, quality, marketing and operations. The Board is chaired by Anil Shivajirao Kulkarni, Chairman and Whole-Time Director, who has experience of around 32 years in the field of aluminium die casting, tooling and engineering manufacturing sectors.
