Engineering the future: how Elecon’ s legacy continues to power global industrial progress and innovation
With a 75-year legacy of engineering excellence, Elecon Group( Elecon Engineering Company Limited)’ s story is one of vision, innovation, and continuous evolution. Founded in 1951, by the visionary Shri Ishwarbhai Patel, in Mumbai, India, the company began by manufacturing elevators and conveyors, laying the foundation for its growth at a pivotal time in India’ s industrial evolution.
Building on the solid foundation laid by its founder, the stewardship of Elecon was entrusted to his son, Shri Bhanubhai Patel, whose visionary leadership ushered in a new era of growth, diversification, and manufacturing excellence.
As the country’ s manufacturing infrastructure grew, so did demand for reliable industrial equipment and transmission solutions. Building on its early success in trading, Elecon entered manufacturing through its Material Handling Equipment( MHE) business before making a defining move in 1976, by expanding into industrial gear manufacturing – a strategic decision that would define its future success.
In the decades that followed, Elecon transformed from a domestic engineering company into one of Asia’ s leading providers of industrial gear solutions and material handling equipment. Today, headquartered in Anand, Gujarat and present in more than 95 countries, the Group delivers end-to-end engineering expertise across a wide range of sectors, including steel, cement, mining, power, sugar, ports, paper, marine, and defense.
