History

History

Arco Group was founded in 1960 by late Shri Mahavir Prasad Ruia. Initial activities were started with trading in automobile and residential air conditioners and their spare parts. The 70’s saw expansion of manufacturing activities, especially in the areas of materials development. We have the distinction of developing several products for various applications through our own in-house Research and Development.

During the early 80’s Mr. Rajendra Ruia joined the business. After graduating from Mumbai, he obtained an MBA degree from the US, thereby bringing into the business a wider perspective and a recognition of the need to enter export markets. The Arco Group is headed by two working Directors – Mr. Rajendra Ruia and Mr. Narendra Ruia.
The Group employs approximately 200 persons. We are headquartered in Mumbai and our facilities are located in Vapi, Vasai, Thane, and Lonavala.
