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. Today the company represents the full spectrum starting from heat-resistant rubber thread to textile air engineering equipment and spans the spinning, weaving, knitting, processing and finishing sectors.

Group companies represent several renowned textile machinery manufacturers like Marzoli-Vouk, Zellweger-Luwa, Finlane (SantAndrea-Seydel-Cognetex), Loris Bellini, Unionmatex, Zimmer and the like.

Joint venture companies to manufacture plant and machinery are also included in the Group. These are Luwa India P. Ltd and Sanmarco Texmac P.Ltd.

On the engineering side, group companies produce top quality machine tool components and special purpose machines for the likes of Nuclear Power Corporation and Wipro-GE among others. Another group company, Eastern Engineering Works also produces Long Table Printing Machines under a collaboration with Zimmer of Austria. Circular looms for HDPE sacks also form part of their production plan.
