Maharashtra Engineers & Founders   was established in 1965 by Shri   Vincent  D'  Silva, 
    as  a  support unit to the  Chemical &  Food   Industries  in &  around Central  Bombay. With
    consistent exposure to the nearby soap plants of the Tatas & Hindustan Lever, maintenance
    of  machineries in  the plants became a  regular business  which  in a  few  years time grew into 
    a manufacturing unit for  these  machines. As most  of these  machines  and  equipments  were
    imported from European  countries the  need  for  indigenisation  was  felt & Mr. D'Silva used
    his foresight  &  experience to  develop  these  machines & began  manufacturing them. Being
    restricted by the limitation of space, only the  finishing lines were developed with specialisation
    in the  stamping  &  cutting  of soaps. These machines  became very popular  in  India  &  are
    presently  installed  in almost every unit-small, medium & large. They  have  been  proved  for
    their efficiency, reliability, quality &  performance over the years &  have  been well accepted
    by  all. The "Maharashtra" stampers have  become  a  brand name in stamping  of soaps in
    India and recently developing countries like Africa, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Madagascar,
    New Zealand etc. have been importing these stampers from Maharashtra Engineers & Founders.
