VISION OF OUR FOUNDER • SIHOR, GUJARAT

“A tool must not merely shape dough or lift snacks from oil — it must endure boiling heat without flinching, release every strand without tearing, and carry the sweet maker’s livelihood with total reliability.”

The 110-Year Journey of Industrial Innovation

From hand-forging brass skimmers on anvils in 1914 to automated CNC laser cutting in 2026.

1914 – The Beginning in Sihor Hand-Forging Era

Shri Girdharlal Devjibhai Chauhan Founds the Craft

In the historic metallurgical town of Sihor, Gujarat, our visionary founder Shri Girdharlal Devjibhai Chauhan began forging specialized brass and iron jara (frying skimmers). Recognizing that sweet and snack makers lacked tools designed for extreme oil heat, he personally traveled to sweet shops and farsan makers across Western India, earning the respected title “Jarawala”.

1950s – 1970s – Industrial Expansion Mechanization Era

Pioneering Namkeen Machine Discs & Jalis

As manual snack production transitioned to mechanical extruders and motorized presses, Luhar Girdhar Devji & Sons engineered India’s first standardized namkeen machine discs (jalis) for Sev, Bhavnagari Ganthiya, and Papdi. Our proprietary hole punch patterns became the national gold standard.
