Technocraft was established in 1972 by two brothers Mr. S.K. Saraf and Mr. S.M. Saraf. The brothers, who are IIT Graduates & Technologists, had started with the aim of manufacturing high precision and sophisticated Drum Closures Products. Until 1976 Technocraft focused on the domestic market. India was not recognized as reliable export nation during those days, against all the odds, the company launched a major export drive in 1977. "Technocraft" was recognised as an export house by government of India in 1979. "Technocraft" initially captured the Middle East export market. Gradually Technocraft moved to USA and Europe. Since customers in USA and Europe were used to buy Drum Closures from the Company's competitors based in Europe and USA, on a very short notice, Technocraft established several foreign subsidiary companies for facilitation of the stock flow to their customers in Europe and USA. At the initial stages the group's strengths were in manufacturing of Drum closures. From inception till 1994, Technocraft continued developing and increasing the production of Drum Closures until it became one of the largest and most recognized suppliers of Drum Closures in the world. The company subsequently in 1994 acquired a sick unit "Maharashtra Steel Tubes Ltd" from SICOM, which was into the manufacture of Steel Pipes. The initial production in the early years post acquisition was 500 metric ton per month and in those days Europe was a major importer of steel pipe. Technocraft opened an office in United Kingdom (UK) so as to tap into the European market. This was the turning point in its expansion program. In 1997, Technocraft diversified into manufacturing of Cotton Yarn. The Unit was accorded a 100% EOU status. The cotton yarn division is into Manufacturing & Exporting of high quality 100% Cotton Ring Spun Yarn.
