Primestar was established in 1984 as a subsidiary of the South Asia oldest firm M.F.Elahi & Co. (E.P.) PVT LTD. (1908).

In 1995, it was divested and became a separate entity. Having all of its top management coming down from Elahi, Primestar continue its quest for excellence. The top management together with the technically trained staff creates enthusiasm and loyalty to the dynamic company and that is the major reason for its involvement in the top quality instruments ranking.
