History

 

About half a century ago, Mr. M D Mehta, the founder was trading in parachutes and chemicals in the USA when he came across a demand for steel balls in India.  Since this was an item he had never dealt with before, he advertised for a supplier in the local papers.

 

Two enterprising Americans approached him with a proposal to manufacture the steelballs.  The duo was equipped with the knowledge and technical know-how to manufacture the balls, but no capital.  Mr. Mehta innovator at heart, decided to venture into the new product line steel balls.

 

That was just the beginning.  Subject grew exponentially, and in 1949, manufacturing facilities were relocated to India.  Now, headquartered in Mumbai, India, subject is a global company, with two plants in Gujarat state, about hundred kilometers away from Mumbai.

 

Subject is led by a dynamic team – members of second and third generation of the founder.  Armed with expertise acquired in their respective fields from renowned US universities and an inherited dedication, they continue to strategically add to the company’s expanding line of products.

 

Today, subject is one of the leading manufacturers of balls in India and regular supplier to prominent companies all over the globe: USA, Canada, Europe and the Asia – Pacific region.

 

They have earned their reputation by pursuing a single-minded objective: Unquestionable Quality. And they have gained their clients’ trust, by providing them with world – class service that exceeds their expectations.

 

To begin with they have strengthened their quality system from ISO 9002 in April 1997 to QS 9000 in August 2000.  An achievement that is a direct result of keeping quality their top operating priority and aiming for zero defects.

 

Besides, they offer products for a diverse range of applications tight from high precision balls for sophisticated use such as bearings, CV joints, steering and pharmaceuticals, to those than require simple tolerances as in cosmetics.  They provide these in various materials including low carbon steel, chrome steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminum and other materials.

 

Their experienced sales and technical team work in tandem with customers, gauging their exact needs, which help in developing new products as per customer’s specific requirements.

 

Subject continuously monitor inventory and deliver on a just-in-time basis fro their warehouse in India, as well as from various strategic locations overseas.  They don’t just reply to enquiries in the shortest possible intervals, but also keep their delivery commitments time after time.
