The Journey So Far
Presto was started by Janki Nath Malhotra in 1983, to serve a noble purpose of helping the packaging & textile manufacturers cope up with the challenge of high rejection rate and poor quality. His vision was to help and create value for these packaging and textile manufacturers, who pledged to bring a revolution in the field of testing instruments. To accomplish the same, he started a manufacturing setup in the Okhla flatted factory complex.
"We decided to setup various manufacturing units in Delhi NCR, and most importantly many branches & service centers all throughout India to provide our customers with prompt support across India"
“Over time, once we realized that our customers have more expectations from us in terms of consistency and repeatability of test results, we decided to set up various manufacturing units in Delhi NCR and most importantly many branches and service centers all throughout India to provide our customers with prompt support across India”, shares Vishal.
Today, Presto is making highly innovative and technically advanced instruments as per industry 4.0 which is the upcoming trend in the testing equipment industry. Using this technology the equipment would be connected through a central system via LAN so that all the test results and readings will be concentrated in one area. The user can also check, view, and monitor the testing from anywhere in the world.
“By this method, we would ensure that there is no manipulation and the readings are well tabulated. So, we plan to focus more on technology & product developments, and help in serving the customers with the most updated technology in the world”, concludes Vishal.
