Our rolling mill guide system plant was setup in 1983. It was also during this year that the company went into a joint venture with Morgårdshammar.
The plant for Welding Electrodes was setup under the GMM Arc brand in 2008 with a cutting-edge manufacturing facility and industry expertise in producing welding electrodes and CO2/CCMS wires. This well-equipped plant covers an area of approximately 8300 square meters, is located in Modipuram, Meerut (U.P), about 70 kilometers from Delhi.
In 2013 Company’s name was changed to MHIL and the collaboration ended.

A wide range of stick electrodes under “GM series” that includes general purpose mild steel, low hydrogen, low alloy, stainless steel, cast iron & hard surfacing are being manufactured on most modern equipment under strict quality control system.
“GMSA series” of low heat input electrodes, used for repair & maintenance applications complete the range of stick electrodes.
In 2018, we took the initiative to start our own wire drawing in response to global demand and in order to cater to a full range of welding consumables. With a production capacity of 4000 ton /year at Modipuram.
