Paragon was founded by Mr R.L. Jain {our CEO} on 13th August 1969 with a seed capital of Rs.200 in a small shed in Anand Parbat Industrial Area in New Delhi for manufacturing Filter components for then upcoming company M/s Purolator filters.
Within a year Paragon graduated from manufacturing rubber grommets to sheet metal components to complete filter assembly for M/s Purolator.
Most of the design development for MICO (Bosch) diesel filters were jointly done by Mr.R.L.Jain and Mr.Bagai of Purolator.
Paragon Started manufacturing oilseals in1972 which were widely accepted in the then infant tractor industry as OE products.
Mr R.L.Jain worked closely with Escorts Tractor’s team in of which Mr. Budhiraja {Dir. Tech. M/s sona Koyo } was a part and developed the first ever torsion spring for the newly launched Escort’s tractor with Deluxe seet. The spring had to withstand very stringent testing for bonding as laid down by Ford (Escort’s Collaborator).
Continuing his quest for further innovation Mr. Jain started Hose division of Paragon in 1976. At that time the only hose maker in India was Dunlop. Hoses were in short supply and Paragon as a brand soon became widely accepted. So much so that even after stopping production of hose unit in 1987 Paragon’s imitations still exist in North Indian market till date.
