The company was founded in 1974 by Mr. R.S. Nibber as part of the Pritika Group of Industries and operates through five strategically located business entities across North India — Mohali (headquarters and machine shop, since 1996), Dera Bassi (gray iron foundry, since 1997), UNA in Himachal Pradesh (fully integrated foundry and machine shop, since 2006), Pritika Engineering Components/PEC at Simbli (second integrated facility, since 2018), and Meeta Castings at Simbli (India's first dedicated Lost Foam Casting facility, since 2023). Combined annual production capacity is 60,000 metric tons of gray iron and ductile (SG) iron castings with weights ranging from 5 kg to 320 kg for conventional foundries and up to 500 kg for the LFC line, with a stated 2027 target of 100,000 MT/year.

The company's technology stack centers on iron casting (gray iron and SG/ductile iron) using both green sand and Lost Foam Casting processes, combined with 100% in-house machining. Its equipment fleet includes 48 horizontal machining centers (HMCs from Mazak, Doosan, BFW, Ace, HMT), 14 vertical turning lathes (VTLs), 24+ vertical machining centers (VMCs), 30 CNC turning centers, 71 special purpose machines, and SIP jig boring, supported by coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) for quality control. The 12 core product categories — rear axle housings, differential cases, hydraulic lift covers, wheel hubs, front engine/axle supports, flywheel housings, transmission covers, oil sumps, engine covers, end covers, plate differential carriers, and brake housings/covers — are designed to OEM specifications and integrated directly into customer manufacturing lines.

Pritika operates a B2B enterprise sales model, generating revenue from long-term negotiated supply contracts with OEM customers (pricing/RFQ-based, not publicly listed).
