Could you walk us through the journey of Milacron and tell us about how you have seen the company evolve?
Milacron’s journey is inspirational and peppered with several innovations. Our story began in 1995 on rented premises, and just a short three years later, its leaders invested in a facility in Vatva, Ahmedabad. Over the years, we’ve established ourselves as a preferred plastics processing provider for companies across various industries. As of 2023, our India-based facility successfully sold over 25,000 machines.
Currently, we have a manufacturing capacity of several hundred injection moulding machines and a dedicated workforce of over 750 associates. In my 18 months as the Managing Director, I’ve witnessed outstanding growth in the plastics industry and have subsequently focused on enhancing our production capabilities while increasing customer engagement.
We are also looking at digital transformation through M-Powered, our IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) solution. M-Powered offers clients sophisticated tools, including predictive analytics, alert reporting, remote technical support, and production recipe management. These tools also are designed to reduce unscheduled downtime.
My goal is to ensure Milacron adapts and evolves to meet industry demands. We prioritise timely and robust service delivery to advance our production, expand our outreach, and embrace advanced digital solutions.
How do you perceive the current demand for plastic processing solutions in the Indian market?
