Incorporated as Prav Electro Spark in June 1975, Electronica Machine Tools (EMT) subsequently changed its name to the present one in 1992. S R Pophale,
R K & P K Ratnaparkhi, and technocrats with technical and managerial backgrounds promote it.

The company manufactures electric discharge machines (EDMs), computerised & numerically controlled (CNC) wire-cut EDMs, CNC lathes and special purpose machines. Electronica introduced the first ever EDM technology in India in the 1970s. Since then, there was no looking back. From a single product company, today Electronica has become a multi-product, multi-location, multi-million group of companies

The domestic market for its products includes the automobile, forging, and general engineering industries. Its leading clients include TELCO, HMT, and Bharat Earth Movers. EMT has collaboration with Delta Tav Data Systems, US, for upgrading its controller system.

A backward integration facility is underway at the carbide division. This will reduce material costs substantially. The company exports its products to Russia, Poland, Malaysia, Singapore, the UK, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia and other countries.

It recently transferred indigenously developed EDM and CNC wire-cut EDM technology to Mechtro Joban Intl, a Japanese concern. During 1996-97, it earned foreign exchange worth Rs 2.75 Cr.

Due to upsurge of demand in the domestic market during the year 1999-2000, the turnover of machine tools and tungsten carbide products increased respectively by 17% and 33%.
