ENGEL invests in India

ENGEL, based in the Austrian town of Schwertberg, is extending its sales base in Mumbai to include a technical centre and a seminar centre. In making the investment, the manufacturer of injection moulding machines and automation specialist is addressing the rising demands on plastics processing companies in India. ENGEL INDIA is highly accessible thanks to its close proximity to Mumbai International Airport.

“The Indian market for injection moulding is transforming beyond recognition”, says Jitendra Devlia, Managing Director of ENGEL MACHINERY INDIA Pvt. Ltd. “Issues like maximum product quality, long-term reproducibility, proper mould protection and set-up time optimisation are becoming ever more important to our clients.” In order to carry on providing full, application-specific advice as well as the best possible service as demands increase, ENGEL INDIA has taken up residence in new and significantly larger business premises close to Mumbai International Airport in the Andheri East district of the city.

The technical centre will be used for machine demonstrations, customer trials, pre-production and running mould trials. Tie-bar-less ENGEL victory machines with energy-saving servohydraulic ENGEL ecodrive, fully electric machines from the ENGEL e-motion range (for extremely precise, high-speed applications) and ENGEL viper robots from ENGEL's latest linear generation will be used for these purposes.
