- Forbes & Company Limited is an established manufacturer specializing in precision cutting tools and marking and traceability solutions. Its core product offerings include the Totem product line encompassing high-performance threading taps made from HSSE and HSSE-PM materials, solid carbide end mills and drills, tungsten carbide rotary burrs, carbon steel taps, dies, and die nuts, along with high-speed steel drills and annular cutters. The Bradma range features electric and pneumatic pin marking machines, laser marking machines, and industrial automation solutions such as customized marking workstations, vision and monitoring systems, conveyor systems, and robotic applications. Additionally, the company markets the BBBB product line consisting of plated and natural spring lock washers, Forbes Kendo hand tools, and PTA accessories. All manufacturing occurs in a world-class facility in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, equipped with state-of-the-art machinery imported from Germany, Switzerland, and Australia. Its operations span across India, including manufacturing and wholesale export activities from Mumbai, Chennai, Pune, and Aurangabad. Founded in 1767 and headquartered in Mumbai, Forbes & Company has recently undergone significant strategic changes. In FY 2024, it completed the demerger of its precision tools business into a wholly owned subsidiary, Forbes Precision Tools and Machine Parts Limited, officially effective from April 1, 2023. This reorganization also involved the liquidation of its European subsidiaries and a substantial reduction in debt, with a transfer of certain liabilities to the new subsidiary. The company's revenue increased over twofold in FY 2024 driven by its real estate division, which notably handed over flats and is projected to break even in FY 2025. Furthermore, Forbes & Company announced a new 2.63-acre IT park project in Thane, Maharashtra, reflecting an expansion into real estate development alongside its core industrial manufacturing focus. Executive leadership changes occurred with the resignation and appointment of whole-time directors during 2025. These developments are part of Forbes & Company's broader strategic shift to focus on scalable business segments and operational efficiency. The company serves diversified industrial machinery manufacturing and engineering markets, targeting clients needing precision cutting tools, industrial automation, marking solutions, and hand tools across various sectors in India and selected global markets. It continues to align its product quality with international standards through rigorous testing and premium technological inputs, maintaining its legacy as one of India's oldest companies with diversified operations including engineering and real estate development. This description reflects the company's latest major developments and comprehensive product offerings as of late 2025.
