Long before Make in India became a headline, it was already a way of working.
The journey began in 1968, with Sparkonix, a company focused on the indigenous manufacturing of advanced machining solutions, including Electrical Discharge Machines (EDM) and other precision engineering systems. At a time when such technologies were largely imported, Sparkonix was built on a simple belief: India could design, build, and own complex engineering capabilities.
This was not growth driven by speed.
It was growth driven by understanding the problem first.
Engineering Before Expansion
From its early years, Sparkonix worked closely with manufacturers, understanding the realities of Indian shop floors materials, tolerances, power conditions, and long production cycles. Every machine built was a response to a real manufacturing challenge.
Over time, this hands-on engineering mindset created something more valuable than scale: deep technical judgment.
As industries evolved, new challenges emerged: stronger materials, higher loads, tighter joining requirements. Welding and joining became increasingly critical to structural integrity and product reliability. Instead of treating this as a separate business opportunity, the family saw it as a natural extension of what they already understood.
That understanding led to the birth of Artech Welders.
From Sparkonix to Artech Welders
Artech Welders was not created overnight. It emerged as a focused response to the growing need for robust, application-driven welding solutions designed and built in India.
The journey unfolded steadily:
- In 1994, Artech pioneered Capacitor Discharge Projection and Stud Welding machines in India, offering indigenous solutions where imports dominated.
- By 2008, Artech became one of the earliest Indian manufacturers to offer Shear Stud Welding machines, engineered for reliability in demanding industrial environments.
- In 2021, the company introduced CNC and automated stud welding systems, addressing the industry’s shift toward precision, repeatability, and productivity.
- In 2025, Artech reached a major milestone with the launch of India’s first of its kind technology bringing ultra-precision welding capability into its portfolio.
Each step reflected the same philosophy:
build capability first, scale only when ready.
A Family-Led Business, Built on Continuity
What connects Sparkonix and Artech Welders is not just lineage, it is a shared way of thinking.
As a family-led engineering business, decisions are guided by long-term responsibility rather than short-term gains. Knowledge is transferred, questioned, refined, and strengthened across generations.
This continuity shows in how Artech operates:
- Engineering is treated as a core capability, not a department
- Machines are designed for longevity, not quick replacement
- Customer challenges are approached as engineering problems, not only as sales opportunities
- Manufacturing remains rooted in India, by choice
The result is technology that is practical, dependable, and aligned with real application needs.
Made in India, Before It Was a Label
For Artech, Make in India is not a campaign.
It has been a practice since 1968.
From Sparkonix’s early EDM machines to today’s advanced welding systems, everything has been built on the same foundation: Indian engineering, Indian manufacturing, and global-grade performance.
This approach has allowed Artech to serve industries where failure is not an option, applications that demand strength, precision, and consistency.
Still Building. Still Moving Forward.
Today, Artech Welders stands on more than five decades of engineering legacy with the agility to adopt new technologies and the discipline to implement them responsibly.
The journey from Sparkonix to Artech is not a shift in direction.
It is a continuation of intent.
To build here.
To think deeply.
To solve what truly matters.
