Ltd. is a privately held Indian industrial automation manufacturer established circa 1989, headquartered in Santej, Kalol, Gandhinagar (Gujarat), with 501-1,000 employees. The company designs, manufactures, and supplies industrial control panels (PLC, MCC, PCC, PMCC, VFD, hazardous-area), power conditioning solutions (servo/static voltage regulators, APFC panels, isolation transformers), and electronic controllers (temperature, water pressure, engine, compressor, drum/asphalt mix plant, speed/flow indicators), plus a dedicated sheet metal fabrication division for enclosures, junction boxes, consoles, and prefabricated control rooms. Its technology stack spans proprietary designs such as an IGBT Chopper Control Static Voltage Regulator (20 KHz AC-to-AC PWM) and wind turbine pitch control systems for turbines up to 2.1 MW, alongside authorized integration with Siemens PLCs and Siemens Mindsphere for plant data analytics.

The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications; UL 508A, UL 50, UL 891, UL NNNY, and UL NRBX certifications for the US and Canadian markets; CE/ICE compliance; and approvals from EIL, BHEL, Mecon, ONGC, NTPC, NPCIL, DRDO, PESO, and GWSSB. Major customers include Siemens, Alstom (now GE), Suzlon, Ingersoll Rand, BHEL, ONGC, ISRO, GAIL, IOCL, Adani New Industries, INOX Wind, ABB India, Mitsubishi Electric India, Thermax, Tata Projects, and Haitian, with cumulative shipments of 18,000+ panels and 2,500+ panels exported to 50+ countries.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based hardware sales and contract manufacturing services for OEM and PSU clients, with quote-based pricing, direct enterprise field sales across West and South India, and international sales representatives in Australia (Canning Vale, WA) and the USA (Southborough, MA). Authorized channel partnerships with Phoenix Contact, Eaton, Trinity Touch, and Stego supplement direct sales. The company is led by Managing Director Mitin Patel (35+ years industry experience); no public revenue, funding rounds, or external investors are disclosed.
