From being the first company in India to make diesel engines to the recent technical collaboration with Ricardo UK for the design of its state of the art family of engines in 2, 3, 4 & 6 cylinder configurations, Cooper Corporation has always branched out into new products, creating an impressive array and portfolio that it extends to both domestic and international customers.

A strong proponent of technology and innovation, Cooper has ensured that his organisation has consistently invested in advanced technology across its eight manufacturing plants in Satara. The company is currently establishing its ninth plant as well as a new corporate office also in Satara. Cooper Corporation has its own Research and Development (R&D) unit to explore the possibilities of developing new products. Cooper's manufacturing set up boasts of the latest equipment and machinery along with 28 robots. "I was incidentally the first person in Satara to buy a computer and use it for work at a time when type writers were still ruling the roost. But I knew that computers were the future and I was right," he says. 

Today Cooper supplies auto spare parts and engine components to all leading manufacturers in India and across the world from Japan to Europe and the USA. Besides, it is a market leader in centrifugal castings.

Farrokh Cooper now wants his Corporation to become a global brand in the next five years clocking ten times the growth of now. "We want to be really big in the engine segment and are working to make this dream possible," he says. And that's not all, he harbours bigger ambitions. Cooper Corporation has also been quietly building its LCV and tractor. "The prototypes are almost ready. While we will wait for a better time to launch our LCV, the tractor will be launched quite soon," he informs.
