	Manufacturing Facilities
	Thakarsons & their manufacturing units have all necessary in-house production & testing facilities at its disposal. Continuous additions are being made as a part of our Technology upgradation & quality improvement measures. We had established Quality Systems similar to ISO 9001 since 1974 itself, with full traceability from Raw Material lots to the finished products packing reference and packing notes / challans to customers, excellent documentation & records of production processes, etc. The Quality systems including strong statistical process control techniques has resulted in a near ZERO REJECT supply performance to our customers over the past nearly 30 years, and enabled CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENTS. Both the manufacturing facilities are Certified & Qualified for Aerospace production by ISRO. We have ISO 9001:2000 certified manufacturing facilities.
	Brief History
	The indigenously developed Varistors for Crossbar Exchanges were as good as the imported versions from Philips, who were recognized as the world leaders in this product. The excellent of Quality controls & procedures resulted in a Zero Reject Performance over more than 30 Mn Nos in 18 years. This paved the way for high quality developments & manufacture, and the entrepreneurs developed the first import substitute Thermistors in 1979. Between 1979 & 1991 was a continuous journey in indigenous development of many varieties of Thermistors equivalent to renowned makes like STC, Philips, Siemens, Ishizuka, Fenwal, YSI, etc. In keeping with our Philosophy "Benchmark with the Best". In 1991 a separate company was formed at Pune to manufacture sensors including soft touch types, probes, assemblies, modules & test equipments for high accuracy thermistor testing, besides glass bead thermistors & intricate indirectly heated thermistors, one of the most complex types with multi-disciplinary technological innovations. The types developed include precision interchangeable thermistors, space grade Thermistors, RTD's & Thermal Foil Heaters, which resulted in Space Qualification from ISRO. We also offer screened components for our customers' high reliability requirements. We manufacture a very wide variety of Thermistors. The Sensors & probes are specially custom packaged. There are many other products like component test equipments, etc, which have been driven by our own need for excellent test facilities. Also developed are many appropriate production equipments, which resulted in excellent process / production controls built around the manufacturing process, at different stages of our growth. The entire history has been one of Innovation, High Quality conformance and Ethical Business Practices. Just what the Global markets require. YOU NAME IT - WE CAN MAKE IT would be a fitting representation of the group strengths.
