Modison was established in 1965 by Girdhari Lal Modi (G.L. Modi) as a trading enterprise focused on tool steels and the export of engineering goods and general merchandise. Recognizing opportunities in precious metals, the company ventured into silver refining in 1975 and set up its first manufacturing facility in Mumbai (then known as Bombay). Within a short span, Modison emerged as a key exporter of refined silver to leading banks and dealers across Europe and the United States. A landmark achievement in the company's early journey was its pivotal role in establishing the status of '999' Good Delivery Silver Bars in India, setting high-quality benchmarks for bullion trading in the domestic market.

Building on its metallurgical expertise, Modison identified a significant opportunity in the electrical switchgear sector. In 1977, the company diversified into the manufacturing of electrical contacts and contact materials, introducing production lines for silver and silver-alloy wires, plates, strips, and solid/bimetal contacts. This strategic expansion laid the foundation for Modison 's long-standing presence in the electrical contact manufacturing industry.

Currently, Modison is recognized as a leading manufacturer of electrical contacts catering to the low-, medium-, and high-voltage switchgear industries. The company serves a diverse customer base across the power distribution and electrical infrastructure, automotive, railway, aerospace, marine, defence, engineering, and pharmaceutical sectors, while maintaining a growing presence in international markets.

Modison's journey reflects its enduring commitment to quality, innovation, and customer-centric growth. The company is accredited with ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications.
