Triton was incorporated in 1976 by M.V. Gokarn. Gokarn was a technocrat entrepreneur with a vision. His vision was to establish world-class manufacturing in India, not just for tyre valves but for a wide range of industrial and automotive products. Triton was established in technical collaboration with Pingeot Bardin SA a leading manufacturer of automotive tyre valves in France. Critical manufacturing technology was transferred to Triton during the five year collaboration with Pingeot Bardin. The manufacturing facility was setup on a 14 acre plot in Mysore, 140km from Bangalore in Southern India. Equipment was imported from Europe and a young dedicated team of engineers was formed. Commercial production commenced in 1978 with an annual capacity of 3 million valves and 4 million valve cores. Triton quickly established a reputation for its quality and customer service and emerged as a strong player in the tyre valve market in India. The Company was plunged into a crisis with the untimely demise of Gokarn in 1986. However the management team rose to the challenge under the leadership of Mrs. Gokarn and soon Triton emerged as the market leader in India. Today Triton has many significant achievements to its credit. It is the market leader in India with over 60% market share, the first in the industry to acquire the QS 9000 and the ISO/TS 16949 certifications, it has the most modern manufacturing facility in India and is also the fastest growing Company in the industry.
