Injection Moulding, the manufacturing process for the fabrication of plastics was estimated globally at $357.34 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2 percent during 2021-2028. The major applications contributing to its growth are automotive, packaging, construction, electrical, electronics & medical. This ever-diversified manufacturing requires the expertise of the molds that shape the very essence of the product being manufactured down to the Nano finish. With the emergence of a technologically driven industry, the mould manufacturers stem from this very need as they play a pivotal role in perfecting every complex plastic shape that determine the utility of that product.
In India, Injection-moulding technology has evolved substantially with a few players even catering to global requirements by meeting global standards of excellence. One such company is Sahil which began its operations in 1995 in the field of Plastic Injection Moulds and today has the expertise of over 9000 moulds made for varying and complex utilities. Its business spreads across more than 50 countries & over 150 clients driving innovations into its designs and adaptability to the changing market dynamics.
“Our growth in a rather competitive market is because of our designing
expertise that spells ingenuity in all our moulds from the right selection of material, to specific tools to specified parameters, to an ideal volume to the outcome all considered while designing the moulds in consultation with the client so that experience spells out the perfection the client desires in his product", says Shekhar Gupta, Managing Diector, Sahil Tech.
Most of its clients would vouch for Sahil for the seamless craftsmanship & uniqueness of each mould in providing solutions to the complexity of products in appearance, colour, durability, or any other parameters desired.
Just as a skilled worker is as good as his tools, so is a mould maker who relies on the capital intensive cost of CNC machines that give a detailed outline of the intrinsic parts of the mould. Today unlike most of the mould makers who have a handful of CNC machines, Sahil can boast of having more than 100 CNC machines for different requirements indicating that year-on profits has always been invested back into the company to make it even more efficient.
Sahil’s competence also emerges from its in-house capabilities of over 250 skilled workers, across three factories spreading over 20,000 sq meters, running 24 X 7 to meet stringent deadlines
“We are known for our quality. Sahil’s marksmanship of its quality, when Customer returns & the product of other companies fail to do so does not", says Shekhar Gupta. Stringent quality inspection is carried out at every stage of manufacturing to ensure that Sahil lives up to and beyond the client’s expectations. It thus involves keeping the stock of the best steel used for manufacturing in good tonnage for quick turnover time, maintenance & quality inspection of machines that will deliver the moulds , automation of assembly parts into finished moulds, systematic utilization of the testing facility to check moulds performance over a range of 150 to 775 tonnage with test runs to ensure that the moulds meet all the criteria required for optimal production.
It is for these reasons that Sahil today stands as one of the leading companies in mould making for a number of utilities like Packaging, Electrical, CPVC Fittings, Fire Sprinklers, PPR Fittings, Wastewater Management, Exhaust System, Manhole System, Sanitary & Sewer System, Rain Water & Roof Drainage, Drip irrigation amongst others.
