Eastern Engineering Company was established in Mumbai, India during the days leading up to Independence. The country was in need of modern technology in all spheres and the textile industry was no exception. D. Ramanna was among the earliest textile technology graduates of VJTI, Mumbai. He used this qualification and the experience gained of apprenticing in textile mills to form a company to source various requirements of the textile industry including imports of machinery. As economic focus shifted from import of machinery to import of technology, so also did D. Ramanna change focus. His company became an agent for leading European engineering and textile machinery companies of the time. His untimely death in 1962, saw the mantle pass on to his sons. The business expanded to include the representation of globally renowned producers of several items required by the industry. As India moves into a new era, the nature of collaboration between business partners change with Indian companies becoming providers and consumers of advanced technology. Eastern has been at the forefront of recognising this change and has expanded its product profile to be in sync with the ever changing market. The engineering side has been strengthened to explore the opportunities present across other segments like food processing, high tech environments and sustainable developments. The vast market for industrial fans has seen us add the world renowned F.lli Ferrari Ventilatori to our product offerings. On the engineering side, companies produce circular looms, hi end machine tool components and special purpose machines for the likes of Nuclear Power Corporation and Wipro-GE among others.
