History

Ador Welding Limited was formerly known as Advani–Oerlikon Ltd. and traces its history back to 1908 and five men, all originally from Karachi, Pakistan: Kanwalsing Malkani, Vasanmal Malakani, Jotsing Advani, Bhagwansing Advani, and Gopaldas Mirchandani. In 1951 to meet India's growing demand for welding electrodes, JB Advani & Co formed a joint venture with Oerlikon-Buhrle of Switzerland to manufacture them. The resulting company, Adavni–Oerlikon Ltd., helped build India's welding industry, which at the time was in its infancy.[3]

In early 1970s the company began expanding into other sectors in India, such as electronic equipment, metal reclamation solutions for industrial components, energy solutions and cosmetics. During this decade a separate entity, Ador Powertron, was established for manufacturing electronic power equipment.[4] The 1970s also saw the formation of Ador Fontech, a company providing metal reclamation and surfacing solutions for industrial components.[5] Within ten years, Ador Fontech had become the number two company after Larsen and Toubro in the metal reclamation sector.

In 1986 JB Advani & Co launched an Initial Public Offering and ceased to be the holding company of Advani-Oerlikon Ltd. In 2003 the joint Advani–Oerlikon association came to an end and the company changed to its current name Ador Welding Limited.[6]
