In the heartland of Jalgaon, where dreams often take root but few rise to touch the skies, one man’s vision laid the foundation for a legacy that would inspire generations. Seth Shri Kantilal Visanji Ved, a humble yet determined entrepreneur, started with a simple dream—to provide dependable industrial solutions to India’s growing manufacturing sector. Little did he know that his dream would transform into a mission to make India self-reliant in industrial gas production, leaving an indelible mark on the nation’s industrial landscape.
In the 1970s, Ved Firms began as a modest coal supplier. It was an era when resources were limited, but hope and resilience knew no bounds. The company expanded its operations into industrial gases, welding consumables, and cinema carbons. Each new venture brought challenges, but Seth Shri Kantilal’s unwavering commitment to quality and service turned obstacles into stepping stones.
The philosophy was simple yet profound: “If our customers grow, we grow.” This ethos became the backbone of Ved Firms, ensuring that every innovation and expansion centered on empowering their partners. As the baton passed to Sunil Jayraj Ved, the next generation added a fresh spark to the legacy. Sunil had grown up watching his father navigate the challenges of the business world with grit and determination. Inspired by those lessons, he decided to take Ved Firms to new heights.
Sunil believed that India deserved world-class industrial gas solutions, not just to compete globally but to lead. Under his leadership, Ved Firms expanded to 30 plants across seven states, serving over 20 industrial sectors. From aerospace to healthcare, Ved Firms became synonymous with quality, reliability, and innovation.
The true measure of a company lies in how it rises during a crisis. For Ved Firms, the COVID-19 pandemic was that test. As businesses shuttered and lives were upended, the demand for medical oxygen surged. It was a moment of reckoning for the team. In Jaisalmer, at the height of the pandemic, a government hospital was in dire need of a reliable oxygen supply. Ved Firms stepped in, commissioning a 50Nm³/hr Medical Oxygen Plant in record time. It wasn’t just about business; it was about saving lives. “The calls we received from hospitals thanking us for keeping their oxygen supply running—it’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do,” recalls Sunil.This wasn’t just a chapter in their story—it was a testament to their commitment to being there when it mattered the most.
Shining at Alucast 2024: Showcasing India’s Excellence
With a proven track record of innovation and reliability, Ved Firms is now making waves in the global arena. Their participation in Alucast 2024, India’s premier aluminum casting exhibition, is a significant milestone. At Alucast, Ved Firms proudly showcases its cutting-edge industrial gas solutions, reinforcing its reputation as a trusted partner in precision and sustainability. The event serves as a platform for Ved Firms to connect with global leaders in the aluminum industry, highlighting how their solutions contribute to efficiency and eco-friendliness in industrial processes. It’s not just a showcase; it’s a statement of Indian excellence on the world stage.
Beyond the industrial corridors, Ved Firms’ journey has always been about people. Farmers in remote regions, engineers in bustling cities, and small-scale manufacturers in industrial towns all rely on the solutions that Ved Firms provides. For a small manufacturer in Gujarat, shifting to Ved Firms’ nitrogen gas generators meant the difference between closing shop and expanding operations. For a hospital in Tamil Nadu, their oxygen solutions were a lifeline. These are not just customers—they are partners in growth.
Ved Firms’ ambitions aren’t confined to India. With every new partnership, Ved Firms proves that Indian companies can not only match but surpass global standards. Their eco-friendly emissions and customer-first solutions are setting benchmarks, making Ved Firms a symbol of India’s industrial prowess on the world stage. As the world moves towards greener and more sustainable solutions, Ved Firms is leading the charge. With an ambitious plan to establish 100 plants by 2026, they are poised to redefine industrial gas production in India. Their unwavering focus on innovation, safety, and customer success is a beacon for countless businesses aiming to grow in a competitive world.
“Every plant we set up, every solution we deliver, is a step toward a future where India is truly self-reliant. It’s not just about gases; it’s about fueling dreams,” says Sunil, with a smile that reflects both pride and purpose. Today, Ved Firms isn’t just a company; it’s a movement. A movement driven by the belief that when one grows, we all grow. It’s a story of resilience, vision, and an unyielding spirit to serve.
For the team at Ved Firms, the journey has just begun. The dream to empower industries, save lives, and drive self-reliance continues to fuel their every step. From the factories of Jalgaon to global platforms like Alucast, their story is a reminder that greatness isn’t about where you start—it’s about where you dare to go.
