SMEW was started in 1958 by Mr. Vinod Nagarsheth. The Promoters are descendents of Sheth Shantidas Jhaveri(c. 1590-1659), a famous jeweller, financier and businessman of the seventeenth century. Shantidas is known to have even financed the mighty Moghul empire and was the first to be conferred with the title of Nagarsheth. Khushalchand (1680-1748), grandson of Shantidass, had saved the city of Ahmedabad from the marauding Maratha army in 1725 by paying a ransom of ? 5 Lakh on behalf of whole city.

MEW has a shop area of 30,000 sq ft. with in house production of critical parts such as the grooved winding drums. The shop area consists of inhouse welding, powder coating and assembling facilities.
