Engineering
India’s firsts
since 1972.

From an indigenous pneumatic valve to the world’s largest CNC rotary draw tube bender, EP designs and builds the machines Indian industry runs on. In Pune, under one roof.

01

5 divisions, one roof

Machines, components, fluid power, drives and strategic projects.

02

100% indigenous technology

Designed, built and supported in India. Atmanirbhar by default.

03

DSIR-recognised R&D

The Power of ONE

Eight technologies Indian industry saw for the very first time came out of one Pune workshop, built on know-how we developed ourselves. One company. One roof. One standard.

Five divisions. One engineering bench.

Standard and customised fluid power products, metal and PET forming machines, mass-manufactured formed parts, servo systems and turnkey defence projects. Pick a division to see what we build.

2025

Joint venture with John Cockerill

To manufacture gun turrets in India.

Concept to commissioning, with no one else in the loop.

Most machine builders assemble other people’s technology. EP designs the hydraulics, the electronics, the CNC and the software, then fabricates, machines and tests the machine in the same place.

01

Every discipline under one roof

Mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, electronics and software design, next to fabrication, CNC machining, assembly and testing.

02

Proven at fleet scale

One automotive customer runs around 100 EP tube benders and special purpose machines across about 20 plants.

03

100% indigenous technology

Every technology we sell was developed in India. Import-substitute machines built to global benchmarks.

EP · INDIA Designed, built, wired and programmed in Pune
04

Support for the life of the machine

Commissioning, maintenance, reconditioning and upgrades. Customers keep EP machines running for decades.

05

Government-recognised R&D

A DSIR-recognised in-house R&D unit, with several technology awards at IMTEX.
