The foundation

ONE VISION.
A JOURNEY OF GROWTH.

Magnarc began with the vision of Mr. Ch. Chandrasekhara Rao, a B.Com graduate with five years of experience in the same field, who established the first manufacturing unit in Visakhapatnam in 1982.

What started as a single unit gradually grew into a trusted name in the welding industry. In 1994, his elder son, Mr. Ch. Rajasekhar, took over responsibilities, carrying the family vision forward with a commitment to growth, quality and innovation.

New manufacturing milestones followed in 2013 and 2019, expanding Magnarc's presence in Visakhapatnam and Bhilai and strengthening its reach into new markets.

Our story is more than a timeline. It is the steady progress of a family-led vision, strengthened by people, manufacturing experience and long-term industry relationships.
