Mold-Masters, a global leader in hot runner technology and services, has consolidated its India operations into a new purpose-built facility in Coimbatore, bringing its engineering, manufacturing, sales and aftermarket service teams together at a single location. The move strengthens the company’s ability to serve customers across India and neighbouring markets while expanding its manufacturing and technical support capabilities.
Spread across 133,000 sq ft (12,350 sq m), the new facility replaces three separate locations and offers nearly four times the space of the company’s previous India operations. The expanded infrastructure is designed to support the growing requirements of plastics processors investing in production efficiency, product quality and manufacturing capabilities.
The facility will manufacture Mold-Masters hot runner systems, temperature controllers and related components. It will also serve as a global engineering hub, providing design, computer-aided engineering (CAE) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) programming support to the company’s manufacturing operations worldwide.
The consolidation is expected to improve coordination across project design, production, service and customer support, enabling faster response times and more efficient operations. It also expands the company’s local aftermarket capabilities, covering spare parts, repairs, cleaning, refurbishment and field service programmes. Customers will have improved access to technical expertise and support, helping reduce equipment downtime and maintain production performance.
Hans Hagelstein, Global President, Mold-Masters DME, said, “2026 marks almost two decades of our presence in India. Our customers rely on us not only for technology, but also for responsive local support throughout the lifecycle of their equipment. This facility brings to life our vision to expand our India operations, and it further strengthens our partnership with customers. The new facility enables us to scale our manufacturing, engineering, and service capabilities while improving the speed and efficiency with which we support customers across the region.”
Swapnil Sankhe, General Manager, Mold-Masters DME India Private Limited, said the consolidated operation would strengthen collaboration among teams involved in design, manufacturing, service and customer support. He added that the facility would help address customer priorities such as higher productivity, reduced downtime and faster product launches. The investment marks a further step in Mold-Masters’ development in India, providing additional capacity and a stronger operational base to support customers and global manufacturing requirements.
