A HISTORY THAT SPANS 50 YEARS AND TWO CONTINENTS

About half a century ago, Mr. M. D. Mehta, the founder, was trading in parachutes and chemicals in the USA when he came across a demand for steel balls in India. Since this was an item he had never dealt with before, he advertised for a supplier in the local papers.

Two enterprising Americans approached him with a proposal to manufacture the steellballs. The duo was equipped with the knowledge and technical know-how to manufacture the balls, but no capital. Mr. Mehta, innovator at heart, decided to venture into the new product line-Steel balls.

That was just the beginning. NHB grew exponentially, and in 1949, manufacturing facilities were relocated to India. Now, headquartered in Mumbai, India, NHB is a global company, with two plants in Gujarat state, about two hundred kilometers away from Mumbai.

NHB is led by a dynamic team - members of second and third generation of the founder. Armed with expertise acquired in their respective fields from renowned US universities and an inherited dedication, they continue to strategically add to the company's expanding line of products.

Today, NHB is one of the leading manufacturers of balls in India and regular supplier to prominent companies all over the globe : USA, Canada, Europe and the Asia - Pacific region.
