Technocraft Industries (India) Ltd. Company History and Annual Growth Details

Technocraft was established in 1972 by two brothers Mr. S.K. Saraf and
Mr. S.M. Saraf. The brothers, who are IIT Graduates & Technologists, had
started with the aim of manufacturing high precision and sophisticated
Drum Closures Products. Until 1976 Technocraft focused on the domestic
market. India was not recognized as reliable export nation during those
days, against all the odds, the company launched a major export drive
in 1977. “Technocraft” was recognised as an export house by government
of India in 1979. “Technocraft” initially captured the Middle East export
market. Gradually Technocraft moved to USA and Europe. Since customers
in USA and Europe were used to buy Drum Closures from the Company’s
competitors based in Europe and USA, on a very short notice, Technocraft
established several foreign subsidiary companies for facilitation of the stock
flow to their customers in Europe and USA.

At the initial stages the group’s strengths were in manufacturing of Drum closures.
From inception till 1994, Technocraft continued developing and increasing the
production of Drum Closures until it became one of the largest and most
recognized suppliers of Drum Closures in the world. The company subsequently
in 1994 acquired a sick unit “Maharashtra Steel Tubes Ltd” from SICOM, which
was into the manufacture of Steel Pipes. The initial production in the early years
post acquisition was 500 metric ton per month and in those days Europe was
a major importer of steel pipe. Technocraft opened an office in United Kingdom (UK)
so as to tap into the European market. This was the turning point in its expansion
program.

In 1997, Technocraft diversified into manufacturing of Cotton Yarn. The Unit was
accorded a 100% EOU status. The cotton yarn division is into Manufacturing &
Exporting of high quality 100% Cotton Ring Spun Yarn. From NE 20 to NE 40, The
spinning mill is equipped with world class Swiss, Japanese and other equipment.
The cotton yarn division employs highly trained technical experts in all aspects
of yarn spinning. It also has a Captive power generation plant in the yarn division to
cater to its power requirements.

sector & it has done a forward integration of Tube Division by producing high
precision scaffolding systems for building construction.The cotton yarn division
has also forward integrated its operations by production & export of Garments
through its subsidiary. Technocraft has been constantly upgrading its capacity
