Founded in 2007 by Ravindra Mahajan and Rajendra Gore, Neologic Engineers has established itself as a leading provider of high-quality engineering solutions for the food and dairy processing industries. The company was born out of a vision to offer world-class services and equipment to the food processors in India and abroad.

The Genesis of Neologic Engineers

Ravindra Mahajan and Rajendra Gore, both seasoned professionals with extensive experience in the dairy and food engineering sector, saw an opportunity to bring international standards of food processing systems to the Indian market. With their decades of experience working with globally renowned brands, they bring to the table solutions that are uniquely tailored to match every business requirement. This experience laid the foundation for Neologic Engineers, enabling them to deliver high-quality, cost-effective solutions to their clients.

Overcoming Initial Challenges

The foundations of Neologic Engineers started with just a small office and with two founders. Initially, the company focused on providing engineering solutions and detailed designs for food processing equipment. However, they soon realized that producing high-quality engineering drawings was not enough. Clients often outsourced manufacturing to other vendors, leading to subpar equipment that did not meet Neologic Engineers’ standards.

Recognizing the need for control over the manufacturing process, Ravindra Mahajan and Rajendra Gore decided to expand into production. Utilizing an existing manufacturing setup from a different industry, they gradually developed a facility tailored to their needs. Within three to four years, they were producing world-class equipment, significantly improving their service offerings. Today, Neologic Engineers has a team of 150+ employees, reflecting their growth and success.

Commitment to Quality and Energy Efficiency

From the outset, Neologic Engineers committed to delivering the best industry solutions without compromising on quality. Their approach was not to seek the cheapest components but to ensure that even the smallest processors received equipment that met international standards. The company adhered to rigorous food safety standards and European hygienic engineering design practices, which have been instrumental in producing robust and reliable products.

Their commitment to quality is further underscored by their ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System, ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System, and ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health & Safety Management System certifications, covering all aspects of manufacturing and site operations. Neologic Engineers ensures that these standards are not just for certification purposes but are embedded in their daily practices, promoting a culture of quality and safety.

Choosing the Food Processing Industry

The founders chose to focus on the food processing industry for several reasons. They identified that food processing is relatively recession-proof, as there is always a demand for food. Additionally, they recognized a significant opportunity to improve hygienic food production practices in India. With their extensive experience and knowledge, they felt well-equipped to address these challenges and bring about positive change in the industry.

Technological Innovation and Comprehensive Solutions

Neologic Engineers provides complete processing lines for the dairy, beverage, prepared food, fruits and vegetables, cosmetics, and allied industries. Their solutions span the entire production process, from raw material reception to packaging. For instance, in the dairy industry, they handle everything from milk reception to packaging, ensuring high-quality and hygienic production.

Their technological capabilities include state-of-the-art stainless-steel equipment manufacturing, world-class welding practices, and advanced automation design. Neologic Engineers’ systems are designed to be flexible, energy-efficient, and future ready, ensuring long-term value for their customers. They also place a strong emphasis on innovation, with a dedicated team continuously developing new solutions and improving existing ones.

Success Stories and Industry Impact

Neologic Engineers has numerous success stories across various sectors. One notable example is their recent work in tomato processing with a Unilever franchisee. They developed a complete processing plant capable of handling 20 tons of tomatoes per hour, producing high-quality tomato puree and paste. This project was completed in record time, with all equipment indigenously designed and manufactured, marking a significant achievement for the company.

Despite challenges such as the 2008 recession and the COVID-19 pandemic, Neologic Engineers has continued to thrive. During the pandemic, they successfully executed a project in the USA, providing remote support for installation and startup. This resilience and adaptability have reinforced their reputation as a reliable and innovative partner in the food processing industry.

Looking Forward

As Neologic Engineers continues to grow, their commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction remains strong. With a focus on providing world-class solutions and maintaining stringent standards, they are set to lead the way in the food processing industry, both in India and globally.
