The plastics market is massive with India currently being one of the front runners in this industry on a global scale. Various industries like aerospace, automotive, electronics, and solar are increasingly transitioning from steel, aluminum, and other metals to utilizing plastic molded components. This is predominantly due to its lightweight properties, resistance to corrosion and high malleability. Now, like any industry, clients in the plastic industry also expect a quality product at the least possible price.
In tandem with this demand, clients are also not looking to spend much on the initial tooling cost and want whichever part cost is recurring to be very competitive since some of the products have a short lifecycle. Clients sometimes even expect the manufacturer to maintain the same costs for years despite an increase in the RM prices, labor costs, power and other input costs. Additionally, some of the challenges faced by clients are competition from other low-cost countries which indirectly applies pressure on the manufacturer with regards to the product cost and timelines. All this creates an imbalance between the demand and supply ratio with the scales tipping towards demand.
Significantly contributing to this sector is Multitek Auto Parts, headquartered in Bangalore, specializing in manufacturing high-quality Injection Molded Plastic Components and Molds. “Our company is an MSME model-based company and we are capable of providing the same technology and services offered by others in the market with competitive pricing and better quality product and timely delivery,” informs U.
