History

The company was founded in 1982 by Sukhwinder Singh Manku as a regional manufacturing unit.[3] It was formally incorporated as a private limited entity in February 1999. To meet expanding demand, the company established a second manufacturing facility on Sehajpura Road, Samana, complementing its original plant on Bhawanigarh Road.

In 2021, an industrial delegation from the Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) recognized the company for its adoption of CNC technology and automated manufacturing processes in the agricultural sector.[4]
