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: 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, Advani–Oerlikon Ltd., helped build India's welding industry, which at the time was in its infancy.
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. The 1970s also saw the formation of Ador Fontech, a company providing metal reclamation and surfacing solutions for industrial components. 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.
