Material certificates for the grades we run, certificates of conformance, inspection reports and the NDA come with the offer; ask with your enquiry.
1. Machines, materials and size
Nine injection moulding machines in Peenya, Bengaluru: eight horizontal, from 60 to 1300 tonnes clamp force, and one vertical machine for insert moulding, all retrofitted with servo drives and monitored through digital SCADA controllers and HMIs. Thermoplastic parts from 10 g to 5.2 kg.
| Machine | Clamp force | Type |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 60 tonnes | Horizontal |
| 2 | 180 tonnes | Horizontal |
| 3 | 200 tonnes | Horizontal |
| 4 | 480 tonnes | Horizontal |
| 5 | 650 tonnes | Horizontal |
| 6 | 720 tonnes | Horizontal |
| 7 | 850 tonnes | Horizontal |
| 8 | 1300 tonnes | Horizontal |
| 9 | Vertical machine | Insert moulding |
Battery containers run on the 480 to 850 tonne machines and their covers on the 180 and 200 tonne machines. The vertical machine moulds connector caps and terminations around placed metal inserts. The 1300 tonne machine runs the heaviest housings and enclosure sets.
Materials
Polypropylene and PP copolymer, 20% glass-filled polypropylene, polycarbonate, nylon 6 and nylon 66 unfilled and 15% and 30% glass-filled, ABS, HDPE and PET. Engineering compounds are dried and processed to grade; a material certificate for the grade comes with the shipment on request. See the materials guide.
Processes
Product design and CAE mould-flow analysis before any steel is cut. Tooling is designed by Kruger and built by partner toolrooms under Kruger’s design authority, then proved on our machines. 3D-printed prototypes for fit checks. Insert moulding on the vertical machine. Ultrasonic welding. Pad and screen printing. Sub-assembly and kitted, retail-ready packing.
The limits
Thermoplastic injection moulding only, parts up to 5.2 kg, clamp force up to 1300 tonnes. Every new tool is customer-funded or transferred in and stays the customer’s property. A part outside that envelope gets a plain no in the first reply.
2. Documents we can send today
ISO 9001:2015, certificate 147210, NVT Quality Certification International LLP, Bengaluru, ANAB-accredited. Scope: design, manufacture, supply and sales of plastic injection moulded components, single site. Certified since 16 March 2021, current revision 15 March 2024, valid to 14 March 2027. The PDF is in the documents bar above; ask in the enquiry for anything a vendor portal needs beyond it.
Incoming, in-process and final inspection are documented per part. Process parameters are monitored at the machine through the SCADA and HMI. Batch traceability, certificates of conformance and inspection reports are provided where the order requires them. The audit checklist a buyer should bring to any moulder is in how to qualify an injection moulding supplier in India.
3. Terms, Incoterms and lead time
Export quotations are FCA Chennai or FCA Nhava Sheva by default, DAP where costed, never DDP into the United States or the United Kingdom. First export orders are on letter of credit or advance; open account follows once an ECGC buyer limit is in place. New accounts are on terms of 45 days or less. Tooling stays the customer’s property, held at Kruger under bailment terms. The four published tooling cost bands are on the tooling cost guide.
The one time promise we publish is the reply: DFM feedback from Madhusudhan, our Head of Production, within 48 hours on working days. Tool and production lead times are stated in the quotation for the specific part, not on this page. For battery containers and covers, where a size is already tooled, samples come from the existing mould; where it needs a new mould, we build it against your committed volume, with the mould owned by you or amortised in the piece price.
4. Who buys from Kruger, by sector
No customer is named without written permission, so the list is by sector.
- Filtration: air-filter housings in 20% glass-filled polypropylene for a global filtration OEM since 2010.
- Batteries: 2V cell containers in BS and DIN sizes and 12V monobloc containers, covers, vent plugs and insert-moulded bush covers in PP copolymer, for the group’s battery companies and other battery makers.
- HVAC and refrigeration: two fan-blade families in 15% glass-filled nylon for a refrigeration manufacturer, won in 2025 and in volume production; ABS enclosures for room air-conditioning equipment.
- Electrical: insert-moulded connector caps and terminations on the vertical machine for a global connector manufacturer; electrical panel enclosures, moulded and assembled.
- Railways: polycarbonate coach window louvers, right and left hand, and nylon door guides, through coach integrators.
- Exports: our first United States order is in production, polycarbonate exit signs, printed, assembled and individually packed.

Send the drawing. Madhusudhan, our Head of Production, replies with DFM feedback within 48 hours on working days.
Attach a STEP or PDF, say the annual quantity, the material if you know it, your country and your Incoterm preference. Madhu replies, not a bot. Your mould stays yours; NDA on request.
In ‘What do you need?’ choose New moulded part, Tool transfer or Repeat production part, whichever fits your drawing. Files travel by email only and are not stored on this website; your enquiry details are kept in our enquiry log so that we can follow up.
