Abdulhusain
M. Alabuxji, the first predecessor, the visionary
and a foresighted individual, was the founder of
AMA in the year 1860 in Nagpur. The concern
commenced its business with trading activities.
Under the wisdom and will power of Hasanali Abdul
Hussain, AMA entered into the business of
fireworks, gun-powder, and safety fuse in 1930
and became the sole distributor for the same.
Soon after independence, AMA was appointed as a
distributor of Nitroglycerine based explosives
Manufactured by Indian Explosives Ltd. AMA played
an important role in the distribution of
explosive and detonators imported then, from
Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia. Once again
chosen as a distributor of IDL Industries for
detonating fuse and explosives at its units set
up in Hydrabad and Rourkela.
In the seventies, due to drastic change in the
blasting system in mines, quarries, road
construction and other developmental work in the
country, an acute demand for blasting equipment
and instruments was felt. At this juncture, AMA
Group from trading stepped into manufacturing
(Industrial Explosives Pvt. Ltd.) of portable
magazines of different capacities to overcome the
constraint of procurement of land for putting up
magazines for storing explosives and detonators.
IEPL later diversified into manufacturing of
blasting equipment such as exploders of different
capacities, ohmmeter, ANFO mixing and loading
equipment, explosive van, crimper, explosives
cutting knives, pricker, etc. IEPL has been the
first in introducing many blasting equipments and
has won award for their innovation and design.
With the liberalization of the industrial policy,
yet another company was floated under the banner
of Maimoon Enterprises and Consultants (MEC) to
manufacture explosives near Nagpur in 1996; Later
named as AMA Industries Pvt. Ltd.
AMA Group mission has been to consolidate and
expand which it has done by diversifying into the
manufacture of Aluminium sections and M.S. wires
of different sizes. The challenge of AMA's
mission has been to capitalize on its strengths
and overcome its weaknesses.
AMA Group has been striving at their best in
providing innovative and instant services to
their customers for developmental activities of
