The aim was to manufacture Process Control Instruments, such as Air Filter Regulators, Rotameters, Level Switches, Level Gauges, Liquid Level Controllers, Transmitters etc., within a year from the start, the design of most of the instruments were perfected. Approvals from various industries were received before 1976. Project and Development Test Evaluation Certificate was received for Regulators and Rotameter’s with DP Regulators in the year 1979. Even though there was difficulty in marketing our products to various Heavy Industries in the initial stages these were overcome by our follow up and quality of our products. The sales increased steadily year after year.

According to the demand of the Industry, we have started adding various types of Instruments from time to time in our production line thereby offering the choice of products to the Industry.
