HISTORY

 

The company was incorporated on 9th May, 1919 at Mumbai in Maharashtra  having Company Registration Number 252.

 

Subject was originally established in the year 1907 as a proprietorship concern. Mr. Carl Jost converted a small proprietory concern into a limited company known as Jost's Fan Supply and Engineering Company Limited. At that time, fans using kerosene as a fuel were the company's principal business. During the early days of trading and after electricity was introduced into India, the company dealt in a number of engineering products predominantly electrical, such as generators, engines, motors, instruments, cables and lifts. In view of the diversity of products, in 1913 the company's name was changed to present.

 

Subject holds agencies for American, British and other European manufacturers of electrical and mechanical engineering equipment. It is also engaged in the manufacturing of material handling equipments and other engineering products.

 

In 1990-91, the industrial finishing division supplied a plant for painting marine containers. A new model of the Pygmy hydraulic pallet truck was introduced. In-house development of new diesel dork lift trucks incorporating the latest technology was successfully introduced in the market.

 

The company formed Haden Josts Engineering India Private Limited, a joint venture with Haden Drysys International, U.K.

 

During 1999-2000, Kerry Jost Engineering Limited, in which the company is a shareholder (35%) suspended its manufacturing operations at Chennai due to poor business prospects, lack of orders and non-availability of working capital.
