JLC dates back to its foundation 35 years ago. A young and ambitious engineer with a vision to contribute to the industrial and economic map of India started his venture to manufacture Lead-in-wires for electric lamps. This was the beginning of a long journey; since then JLC has continuously added various alloys to its product portfolio and has developed a strong relationship with its customers ranging from small companies to multi-national OEMs. Foresight, diligence and innovation have helped JLC become the leading manufacturer of Nickel and Nickel based alloys in wire, strips and ribbon forms.
