Every company begins with a belief.
For Yogesh Joshi, that belief started in the early 1990s while working as a sales engineer in the pump industry. Traveling across industrial sites, he witnessed firsthand the challenges industries faced in managing complex fluid systems, systems that were critical to operations but often underserved by reliable engineering support. He believed engineering solutions should not just sell products, they should solve problems.
With that vision, he founded Crab & Taur Engineers Pvt Ltd in Pune in the mid-1990s. What began as a small entrepreneurial effort soon evolved into a trusted engineering partner for industries that depend on precision, reliability, and efficiency in fluid motion systems. Over the years, the company built strong technical expertise and forged partnerships with global technology leaders such as Flowserve, Trucent, and Katzen International, enabling it to deliver advanced pumping, filtration, and process solutions to industries ranging from energy and chemicals to pharmaceuticals and food processing.
Today, what started as one engineer’s vision has grown into a dedicated team delivering engineering, EPC, and turnkey solutions across critical industrial sectors. Yet the foundation remains the same: a commitment to engineering excellence, trusted partnerships, and solving the toughest fluid handling challenges for clients.
Because at Crab & Taur, the journey was never just about building a company, it was about building solutions that industries can rely on.
To deliver high-reliability pump systems for critical process industries, ensuring performance, efficiency, and operational continuity.
