Hawkins Cookers Limited is a company in India which manufactures domestic pressure cookers and cookware based in MumbaiMaharashtra.[4] The company has three manufacturing plants at Wagle estate Thane, Hoshiarpur and Jaunpur. It manufactures under brand names of Hawkins, Futura, Contura and Ventura. The company is the largest cookware manufacturer in India and exports its products to more than 60 countries.[5]

About The Company
Hawkins Cookers Limited has been in business since 1959. Today, it has two offices, three factories in Thane (Mumbai), Jaunpur (UP) & Hoshiarpur (Punjab) and about 1000 persons working. It is the leader in the pressure cooker market in India and has exported its products since 1974 to various countries in each of the six continents of the world.

Hawkins has sold over 45 million pressure cookers worldwide. Today, it makes 57 different models of pressure cookers in 10 different types. All Hawkins pressure cookers are listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc., USA, a not-for-profit institution testing products for public safety.


Each pressure cooker made by Hawkins features an inside fitting lid. This design is inherently safer than conventional pressure cookers. To open any Hawkins cooker, you have to first lower the lid slightly into the body of the cooker; and that cannot be done until the steam pressure inside the cooker falls to a safe level. Thus Hawkins pressure cookers are pressure-locked for safety - like a jetliner door!

The Hawkins Company is well known for not compromising on quality and for continual product innovation. The most thorough research and development, the most careful selection of materials, the best manufacturing practices and the strictest quality control - all go into making pressure cookers which are trusted by the millions of families using them.

Each cooker is tested to be leak-proof. Along with a superior pressure regulating system, this ensures that Hawkins cooks quickest. Each pressure cooker comes individually packed in an attractive full-colour carton. Cookbooks/Instruction Manuals come free with each pressure cooker. All Hawkins pressure cookers are guaranteed for five years.
