Lawkim Motors Group

About Us

Lawkim was created to serve the growing market for motors in newly industrialising India!
In 1965 its new factory in Thane launched the manufacturing of hermetic motors for the first time in India with Emerson Electric of the USA. Its customers were the appliance makers of India, including Godrej, Voltas, Kelvinator and Kirloskar for refrigerator compressors and air-conditioner motors.

By 1976 however, recessionary trends sent Lawkim into bankruptcy. In early 1977 the company was acquired by the Godrej Family, ushering in a new era of constructive growth and expansion. With the fresh opportunities ahead the new management team took the company into a new business model. Concentrating on lean manufacturing to mass manufacture popular hermetic motor models, the company was able to capitalize on its experience and domain expertise by investing in the latest manufacturing equipment and toolings to stay ahead of customer demand.
