Mr. Prabhakar Gogate(B.E. Mech.), with a zest of creating something and providing best quality products to the customers founded the Jupiter at Shriwardhan, a village situated in Raigad District, Maharashtra, India. Whilst barely having people in his team, he took relentless efforts to establish “Jupiter” in the field of clamping industry. He only believed customer satisfaction to be the goal.
As years passed, Mr. Prabhakar along with team grew and in the year 1972, a new unit was started in Thane, Maharashtra for manufacturing specialised clamps which required high technology. This unit saw the growth of company.
The employees which started their careers with Jupiter in the same unit are still with us and have equal zest to take the company to new heights.

He focussed on customer satisfaction and collaborations to achieve results. Mahendra always practises to keep himself and his entire team updated with latest manufacturing technology. New product development Innovation, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement are the values that Jupiter focuses on.
