Narrative

The Founder's Journey: From Workshop to Global Exporter

With a deep-rooted passion for mechanical engineering and automation, Mr. Prakash Vethekar started his journey by fabricating essential manual tools for local wire processors. Realizing the immense potential and demand for higher-efficiency production in the fencing industry, he established Prakash Industries in Pune in 2009.

Under his leadership, the company evolved from a small workshop into a full-scale, ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing plant. His hands-on approach means he still personally supervises the design workshop in Junnar, Pune daily, ensuring every custom edge-bending system and wire feeder performs reliably under continuous production stresses. His vision is to empower local entrepreneurs with machinery that is affordable, extremely durable, and easy to maintain.
