The 1950s
The beginning of an era
The story of Texmo Group stretches back to 1956, when Ramana Ramaswamy started Texmo Industries, a water pump and motor company, in Coimbatore, India.
The 1960s
In Germany, Wilhelm Blank's machine tools sales agency began producing investment casting parts in the 1960s, which is where the story of Texmo Blank begins.
At the start of this time period the company had just eight employees.
The 1970s
The company continued to grow in Germany, quietly becoming known for its quality and precision.
In this decade, Wilhelm's son, Werner, joined the company, and would go on to have a huge impact.
The 1980s
In 1985, the American arm of the business began under the name Medcast Inc.
Back in Germany, Werner took over the company in 1984. The company was renamed to FEINGUSS BLANK GmbH.
The 1990s
The pace really picked up in the 1990s. Texmo Precision Castings was formed by Damayanti Ramachandran in 1992, to support parts production for Texmo Industries (another company part of the Texmo Group).
While Romania wouldn't become part of our story until 2020, the original company was founded in 1993 by Alfred Barth.
Meanwhile, both the USA and Germany sites continued to flourish, adding new buildings, new people and new processes.
The 2000s
We opened our Sheffield HQ in 2009, when Texmo Precision Castings created a UK arm to further business development, and provide support for US and UK customers.
Arjunan Ramachandran joined his family's company in 2003, and has gone on to lead the business since then.
The 2010s
In 2014, Texmo Precision Castings purchased Medcast Inc. This began a period of development and modernisation across the US facilities.
In Germany in 2011, a specifically designed training centre was opened to lay the foundations for skilled workers of the future.
The new business centre was officially opened in Germany in 2017 to provide flexible and versatile working environment.
The 2020s
Romania officially became part of our story, when Feinguss Blank purchased B2 Smart Precision in 2020.
In October 2023, Texmo Precision Castings acquired Feinguss Blank, and the newly formed company rebranded to be Texmo Blank. We now operate as one across our five sites in the UK, US, Germany, Romania and India.
