Our History

The early foundations of the business started by Mr. G. Thrimurthulu in 1992 in the area of Power Transmission and initiated cast iron castings and machining in 1998 led the group into gaining expertise and developing the capabilities in precision engineering.

In the year 2004 in a sudden turn of events when the founder passed away, led to Mr. G. Vamsi Vikas taking over the reigns at an early age of 22. The father who was affectionately referred to as “Raghu” was deeply missed by his colleagues. Soon after Mr. Vamsi Vikas had to start all over with a new vision and ambition which led to the incorporation of the company Raghu Vamsi Machine Tools Private Ltd. In 2004.

Within a short span of time the company was accredited ISO 9001 and awarded 9001 C certification which was a first in the region. In the coming years Mr. Vamsi was awarded two prestigious awards the Bharat Gaurav Award and Bharat Vikas Ratan Award by The Government of India for the outstanding work done in the area of precision manufacturing.

The company signed its first joint venture with ITP Spain, a fully owned subsidiary of Rolls Royce to manufacture aero engine parts in 2011 and the rest is history as we know it.
