The Salient features of 'Ashok Group' are briefed as under

Establishment: M/s. ASHOK METAL INDUSTRIES, RAJKOT (GUJARAT) (1967 A.D.)

The first unit namely M/s. Ashok Metal Industries was established in the year 1967 to manufacture New Tins suitable to pack 15 kg Edible Oil / Vanaspati / Milk Powder etc. It was the first unit to manufacture ISI Quality marked Tins without the aid of power. It has earned very good reputation among manufacturers of Edible Oil / Vanaspati / Ghee and Milk Powder. It also manufacturers agriculture implements and stove parts. To provide specialized services to the packers of Shudha Ghee, a special division of Tin making unit was established in the year 1970 under the above name and style. 

M/s. ASHOK MACHINE TOOLS, Rajkot.

Ashok Machine Tools :

It manufactures Tin plant machineries suitable to manufacture rectangular, round and square Tins to pack edible Oil / Vanaspati / Milk Powder, Shudha Ghee/Cosmetics, Pesticides etc. without aid of power i.e. manually. It enables to avail 15% exemption in Central Excise and also boost employment and develop sound relation in the field of Human Resources Development. It also conserves electricity and is suitable to install in the Rural Area. To match with time and advanced technology, the company further widened its product base by manufacturing Machineries like Power Press, Deep Drawing Press, Shearing Machinery, Roofing Press, etc. to be operated with the aid of electricity. The updated workshop equipped with highly technical and qualified Engineers has made it possible to meet herculean task to install about 300 plants all over India on turn key basis to manufacture Tin Containers. They extend consultancy both on technical and administrative side to achieve optimum production with good marketing and financial discipline. It provides full fledge technical consultancy to their two main units namely. Now Central Government. has withdrawn exemption hence they have converted such plant into Automatic Electric Plant to avail modvat. They have also started manufacturing furniture making plant (Sheet Metal). As they are manufacturing Kerosene Wick Stove, Gas Stove and domestic appliances in other associate concern, they have now decided to add manufacturing food processing machineries hence this idea to start with Chapati Making and Dosa Making Machine. They do export and market spices in India. Hence they would prefer to have technical consultancy for spices to get ourselves equipped with latest technology. They are equipped with latest Lathe – Milling Machines radial drill, boring machine etc. and are having qualified engineers to look after their other associate concerns manufacturing Kerosene Stoves, Gas Stoves, Edible Oil Containers, Grain Containers and other domestic appliances.

M/s. Ashok Iron and Steel Fabricators Private Limited, Rajkot. (Gujarat).

M/s. Ashok Stove Private Limited, Bombay (Maharashtra).

The Machineries installed in the above units are also made by Ashok Machine Tools. Hence Ashok Machine Tools is a backbone of 'Ashok' Group which has made it possible to achieve their ambitious target.

Ashok Iron and Steel Fabricators Private Limited, Rajkot (Gujarat) and  Ashok Stove Private Limited Mumbai (Maharashtra)'Ashok' was having name and fame in the Industrial world till 1981.Even Ashok Iron and Steel Fabricators was also manufacturing tin containers to meet the increasing demand from Oil Millers.A turning point arose in the year 1981, when mighty Barchha Brothers thought of diversification in an area unexplored, but primitive and traditional product i.e. Kerosene Wick Stove. It was a time of fuel conservation. Government was giving incentives to units which were saving precious Foreign Exchange. An unique design was developed with a novel device to conserve fuel and give more heat. The fuel efficiency was increased from 45% thermal efficiency of a traditional stove to 60%. Theirs are glove named 'Ashok'. The designs and devices are registered and patented also. It was a challenging job to introduce new domestic product which has no brand image in domestic world. The price of traditional stove was Rs. 13/- to Rs. 25/- while their introductory price was Rs. 63/- per stove. They are also equipped with latest electroplating plant for chrome plating.

 

DARSHNA UDYOG, RAJKOT (GUJARAT)

Keeping with the paces and strides of success, Ashok Group developed a Unique and safe Kerosene Pressure stove which was awarded with ISI mark.  The proud feature being that for the first time in India since 50 years of Independence a unit was awarded ISI mark for pressure stove of side tank as per IS:10109.  This was perhaps the best gift which Ashok Group gave to its nation which is celebrating 50 years of Independence.  This will surely be a success in coming times. Now their unit is registered with Director General Quality Assurance to cater the needs of Defence.

ASHOK HOME APPLIANCES Private Limited, RAJKOT (GUJARAT)

Keeping in view the popularity and the spirit of commitment to quality Ashok group has started  manufacturing of Stainless Steel and Aluminum Household containers of various sizes.  The workmanship of absolute class and finish has at once made it a great success and popular. They have also started manufacturing Gas Stove for Domestic use.

MIRA UDYOG APPLIANCES PRIVATE LIMITED. RAJKOT (GUJARAT)

Keeping in pace with times 'Ashok' Group started an exclusive marketing company which undertakes the marketing of the entire umbrella of products manufactured by the 'Ashok Group' so that a 'single window model' can be adopted for the convenience of the consumers at large.  Moreover, it has also added other products for marketing like 'Ashok' Super Stroke Electronic Gas Lighter, 'Ashok' Chilly and Nut Cutter, 'Ashok' Beater and other such household items under the same umbrella.  Strict quality department monitors the purchase of these products.

SPICES

They also deal in marketing of various types of spices in the name of “AJOD” such as chilly powder, turmeric powder, coriander cumin mix powder, garammasala, tea masala, achar masala, chat masala, kuriya (pickle supplement), rain a kuriya, methi na kuriya, coriander kuriya, Rai, Methi,Coriander, Cumin etc. They get it manufactured from renowned quality manufacturer under their strict supervision and market it in India in own fashion and style. They also commence exporting these spices. In order to get consistent quality goods they would prefer to manufacture in their close supervision so that chances of adulteration at any point is avoided. Hence this proposal to obtain the technical assistance from the reputed organization so that they may march with the time for requiring latest technical developments.

 

The Success Story of "Ashok Group"


Over the last decade, "Ashok Group" has earned for itself the distinction of being India's fastest growing stove company with an enviable reputation for quality and a comprehensive product range suitable to all types of cooking for various class of people having varied taste that has made it the No.1 stove Industry in India.


This tremendous achievement did nor happen on its own. It had come up with flying colors only after dedicated contribution with high reputation and experience in the filed of Edible oil and packaging Industry coupled with continuing innovative contribution in sheet metal machineries. It took dedicated efforts and immense amount of zeal and enthusiasm coupled with state-of-the art manufacturing facilities. Backward integration was restricted to the machineries, dies, tools and jigs fixtures. In addition to above, they are genuinely proud of having a well dedicated team of experienced personnel fully alive and conscious of technology employed in turning out a class product.


It is not economically viable to produce key raw-material input i.e. CRCA/ stainless steel as ourselves are procuring the said material with an upper hand from the newly established units in backward area having latest manufacturing facilities. This has resulted into ergonomical purchases with the best assured quality. Last but not the least, a superb dealers network backed by unique brand image and brand loyalty in the domestic market it is no doubt the largest selling wick stove in India backed by an efficient team of experts having futuristic vision. Their business principals, strength and growth through intense business focus, work closely with customers with commitment and cordialness.


An innovative marketing idea, coupled with good quality having a background of sincere, honest and enterprising nature of Barchha brothers yielded a tremendous and spectacular success.


A vision of growth with latest technology has made them to establish a wining Blue Flame. It got them honor to be the 1st unit to achieve prestigious ISI Mark in India. It would not have been possible without Dynamic people, dynamic product and futuristic vision, a philosophy that has made a group growing at the speed of light of Blue Flame of stove.


Single minded dedication to provide only the best with safety device to avoid accident, constant monitoring or consumer needs and ever expanding range of products has put their company as No. 1 a growth at the speed of light of Blue flame of stove. In order to avoid risk of putting all eggs in one basket and to economize the transport cost to cater the need of four states of Southern India, it was decided to put up a new Plant at Bombay viz. Ashok Stove Private Limited., To attain absolute perfection 'Ashok' makes all critical components in house so as to provide the best quality.


It may be found surprising and astonishing to expand a Kerosene Stove Industry when India is in door step of 21st Century with globalization to provide the latest technique. It is also a miracle to retain No. 1 as largest manufacturing of quality Kerosene Stove despite increasing competition and inflow of gas appliances.


Yes, it is worth appreciating to run an Industry with strong earning potential with no Marketing executive, no payment collector and no complaint division still running and growing at the speed of light of Blue Flame which crowns 'Ashok' as the Kitchen King'.  It is because of all these efforts Ashok Group was conferred upon 'The Award of Excellence' for the Best SSI Unit for the year 1999 by Federation of Gujarat Industries which was presented by Former Union Minister of Finance Dr. Manmohan singh.

 

In order to strengthen its image, the company resorts to advertising in print media - Television, Radio and also sponsorship of social events, promoting concepts of social marketing.

 

Engaged in Educational activities by setting up fully air-conditioned Secondary and Higher Secondary school under the name "Shantvan School" and also Coaching Classes under the name "Vikalpa Tutorials" for educational purpose and also the only institute approved by IRDA in the saurashtra region for Insurance training for Life and Non-life insurance.


Vikalpa Tutorials has established itself as a major training institute and have opened five centers in various parts of Saurashtra and has centers at RAJKOT, JAMNAGAR, JUNAGADH, BHAVNAGAR, PORBANDAR, BHUJ and GANDHIDHAM.

Vikalpa has also made tie-ups with all the private insurance companies to cater to their insurance needs and have conducted almost 500 batches and would have trained more than 25000 agents in this region.


With all the above feathers of success, Ashok Group has a turnover of 200 million Rupees and a Net worth of 100 Million Rupees.
