Our Story

Keeping the Hands in Handicrafts

A family enterprise that owns and runs its own network of production factories across India — built on the belief that modern manufacturing and ancestral artisan skill are not competing forces. They are the combination. We own the network; we are not a sourcing office.

Founded 1982

From a Metal Finishings Workshop to a Global Design Powerhouse

Gemixx Exports began as a family metal-finishing business in Moradabad — India's historic brass and metalware city — during the early years of the country's manufacturing reforms. When Vineet Dargar, a trained Executive Chef with over a decade of experience in international professional kitchens, stepped away from his career to reengineer the struggling family operation, everything changed.

He recognized that India's ancestral craft skills and emerging industrial capabilities were converging at exactly the right moment. By the late 1990s, Gemixx had transformed into a design-oriented premium flatware manufacturing powerhouse. Today the group runs its own factories across India — coordinated from our New Delhi HQ — and, with a client-facing office in Princeton, New Jersey, partners with over 250 global retailers and wholesalers.

We bring small and large independently operated facilities under the Gemixx umbrella through acquisitions, majority equity or artisan residencies — then run and quality-control each one directly. We own the network; we are not a broker or a sourcing agent.

"We empower second and third generation artisans with modern manufacturing tools, allowing them to create premium products using their ancestral artistic skills."
