This division was previously known as Chinchwad
Precision Optical Frame Works in short (CPOFW) was established in
1959 to produce metal spectacle frames and it's accessories. Later
on this activity was discontinued and only spares such as screws,
hinges and side wires were produced and millions of such spares
were sold in Indian market. Later on screws for fare meters, cameras
and for electronic instruments were included in the manufacturing
range.
Around 1981, this division started production of
components of LPG regulators and valves and the earlier activity
of producing spares of spectacles frames and screws for other application
were totally discontinued.
Components of LPG Regulator and Valves were initially
sold in the Indian market till 1993 and from 1994, the scope of
marketing such components was extended to cover European markets.
The market survey of various types of LPG regulators and Valves
used in Europe was carried out and result of this survey it was
decided to increase product range to include assembled couplings
and regulators and was done accordingly. By 1998, LPG Division exports
accounted for 98% of it's turnover. In the year 2006, LPG Division
was coverted into 100% export oriented unit.
Today, LPG Division has all the facilities including
precision automats, die casting machines, 3D & 2D packages in
