Our 1st plant was established in 1978 for manufacturing small industrial gas cylinders for medical and fire fighting industry in Chikalthana MIDC, Aurangabad, about 350 kms from Mumbai.
In 1986-87, 2nd plant was set up in Tarapur MIDC, about 120 kms from Mumbai, to manufacture high pressure seamless steel cylinders for industrial gases which was expanded in 1996-97 to manufacture CNG cylinders and cascades for domestic and export markets.
The development of export-business during 2002-05 in the mid-east countries encouraged EKC to set up two more plants in Dubai.
In 2005-06 EKC established its major hub near Gandhidham and Kandla port, with initial two plants manufacturing industrial and CNG cylinders. There are now additional three plants for Jumbo cylinders/skid assemblies, cylinders from billet and plate.
This location is very convenient and important for imports of major inputs and export markets. Gandhidham plants employ about 800 workmen and 200 engineers. The township is well connected by roads, rail, airways and provides school and college education. The company provides furnished accommodation to all employees.

Cylinder Manufacturing Process
Seamless steel tubes are used for manufacturing High Pressure seamless steel Cylinders of 0.5 to 2250. It’s capacities for Industrial & CNG gas storage and transport applications. Both ends of tube-cut to size are closed by hot spinning on CNC SPMs.

Further processes of harden-quench-temper in walking-beam furnaces, neck-threading, leak-tests, metal-finishing, data stamping and painting on PLC/CNC equipment, ensures 100% cylinders are certified by BIS/CCE/BV inspection agencies to Indian & International specifications. Production requires air, water, steam, oil and gas based utilities and auto-control equipment.

Suitable Industrial Experience
