Artson Engineering Ltd

ARTSON ENGINEERING LIMITED (AEL) was established in the year 1978 by three technocrats namely; Mr. N.K.Jagasia, Mr. P.S.Chopde and Mr. Kiran B.Kakatkar. All of them graduate engineers. Mr. Chopde & Mr Kakatkar have a post graduate degree in Business Management. Mr. N.K.Jagasia and Mr. P.S.Chopde were working with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited in their refinery before promoting this company.

At the time of the establishment of the company, in 1978 the refineries had started using Bombay High Crude, which gave a waxy product called Low Sulphur Heavy Stock ( LSHS) , as residual fuel oil. LSHS has very high pour point. Artson did pioneering work and developed products and systems to convert the existing fuel firing systems of industry to make it suitable to use LSHS. AEL has successfully commissioned on turnkey basis more than hundred such fuel systems in the country. This led to AEL being one of the foremost companies in the country, specializing in petroleum storage and handling systems. This expertise was then expanded and

AEL executed overseas projects.
Artson went on developing its capabilities in multi disciplinary construction for the Hydrocarbon Process Industry and is one of the leading Design, Engineering, Procurement and Construction Companies with a sound manufacturing base.
