The Khalsa story

Nearly four decades of fabrication.

Khalsa Industries is a Nashik-based manufacturer of process equipment for the chemical, pharmaceutical and process industries. It was founded in 1987 and continues today as a second-generation family enterprise.

What began as a small machine shop making precision hand tools, including pliers for Taparia Tools, has evolved into a specialist fabricator of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, reactor vessels, storage tanks and heavy fabricated assemblies.

Equipment built at our Ambad MIDC workshop runs inside the plants of Graphite India, SGL Carbon, NETZSCH, Thermax, Vatech Wabag, Kilburn Chemicals and many other process industry leaders. Many of those relationships are more than a decade old, and one is over 23 years.

Under the leadership of the founding family’s second generation, the company is investing in international code certifications, modern manufacturing systems and digital product development.
