A century old company, ISWPL has always believed in perseverance. The long and unrelenting journey of ups and downs stands as evidence of its ‘never say die’ spirit.
Set up in the year 1920 by Sir BahadurInder Singh, ISWPL has traversed a long and eventful journey spanning almost a century. Though it started out as a wire drawing plant, the company gradually expanded and explored other arenas of the steel business. As part of this expansion, the Wire Rod Mill was set up in the year 1935. The Rod Mill was the most advanced plant of its time and was further augmented in terms of technology in the 60s. The year 1935 proved to be a milestone as ISWPL was also incorporated as a company under the Companies Act, 1913.
The expansion of the company reached a new high when the Jamshedpur Engineering and Machine Manufacturing Company (JEMCO) became a part of ISWPL in 1991. With this acquisition, the company now boasted of a manufacturing unit for various types steel and iron products comprising of wires, wire rods, as well as rolls and castings. In fact, the superior quality of ISWPL’s rolls and casting products made it the pioneer in the category with customers from across the globe.
The year 2003 marked the start of a new phase for the company. Following a six-year shut down, the company was re-started under the new leadership of the steel giant, Tata Steel. With its registered office in Kolkata, West Bengal, ISWPL was all geared up for the challenges. Since then it has been a ride marked with diligent efforts, taking up of new challenges, and a relentless drive to bring forth our best.
ISWPL believes that the way forward is possible when we work together for the betterment of the society. The Company has been recognized at the Tata Group level for its achievements under the Corporate Social Responsibilities and employee volunteerism program. Keeping in mind the growing needs of the customer in terms of quality and technology, the Company has successfully adopted Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), a holistic approach to equipment maintenance that strives to achieve perfect production in addition ensuring a safe working environment.
For ISWPL, the century old journey till now is only the beginning. This immense treasure of experience combined with the undeterred zeal to excel help propel us on the road to an even brighter tomorrow.
