As we celebrate this significant milestone, we’re not just reflecting on our past achievements – we’re using them as a springboard to drive the future of manufacturing with cutting-edge technology and visionary innovation.
A Journey Through Time: The Legacy of IEC AirTools
Our story began in 1972, with a vision set forth by our founder, Shri. Shankar Mahashabde. From the outset, our mission was clear: to revolutionize the manufacturing industry with high-quality pneumatic tools. This journey of relentless pursuit of excellence saw us taking significant strides in innovation and industry standards.
In the early years, our focus was on enhancing the productivity and quality of assembly operations. This foundational work laid the groundwork for the sophisticated systems used in modern assembly lines. Throughout the 1980s, strategic partnerships with FIAM and Weber allowed us to expand our footprint, establishing key offices across India. This period of growth enabled us to bring our innovative solutions to a broader audience.
By 1989, the incorporation of IEC DUSTERLOH Pvt. Ltd. marked a pivotal moment, strengthening our presence in the energy sector. This strategic move diversified our portfolio and reinforced our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions across various industries. The launch of an indigenous range of pulse tools in 2000 signified a major step towards self-reliance in pneumatic technology, and our global expansion began with exports to key markets, showcasing our ability to compete internationally.
Our partnership with Durofix in 2017 further bolstered our product portfolio, enabling us to offer an even wider range of high-quality tools and solutions. Reflecting on our 50th anniversary in 2022, we celebrated numerous achievements that have shaped our legacy. Now, 52 years strong, we continue to build on this foundation, driven by the same passion and dedication that has defined us from the beginning.
