What we mould, on which machines, in which materials
Kruger Industries is a thermoplastic injection moulder in Peenya, Bengaluru, established in 2004 and part of the Microtex Group, founded in 1969. We run customer-owned moulds as job work, receive transferred moulds, and mould new parts on tools made through partner toolrooms under our design authority. The offer is strongest on the 650 to 1300 tonne machines.
| 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 |
Today the 480 to 850 tonne machines run battery containers, the 180 and 200 tonne machines run covers, the vertical machine runs insert-moulded connector caps and terminations, and the 1300 tonne machine runs enclosure sets on a hot-runner tool. Materials: polypropylene and PP copolymer, 20% glass-filled polypropylene, polycarbonate, nylon 6 and 66 unfilled and 15% and 30% glass-filled, ABS, HDPE and PET. Thermoplastics only: no part above 5.2 kg and no tool that needs more than 1300 tonnes. Insert moulding, welding, printing and sub-assembly are on the capabilities page.
The certificate and documents we can send today
Kruger holds ISO 9001:2015, certificate NVT 147210, valid to 14 March 2027, for the design, manufacture, supply and sales of plastic injection moulded components. The PDF is in the documents bar above. Material certificates, certificates of conformance and inspection reports come with the offer where you require them. Incoming, in-process and final inspection are documented per part, process parameters are monitored at the machine through SCADA and HMI, and batches are traceable.
Terms, Incoterms and what we promise on time
Your mould stays your property. A mould you transfer or fund is held at Kruger under bailment terms, maintained on a schedule while it is with us, and open to inspection on a video call whenever you ask.
Indian buyers are invoiced in rupees with GST, and new accounts open on terms of 45 days or less. Export buyers are quoted FCA Chennai or FCA Nhava Sheva by default, DAP where costed, never DDP into the United States or the United Kingdom. First export orders run on letter of credit or advance payment; open account follows once an ECGC buyer limit is in place.
Lead times are stated in the quotation for your part, because they depend on the band, the tool and the resin. The quotation names the machine and states set-up time, set-up charge and minimum run.
Who trusts Kruger, by sector
We name no customer without written permission. A refrigeration manufacturer runs two fan-blade families in 15% glass-filled nylon in volume production. A global connector manufacturer takes insert-moulded connector caps and terminations from the vertical machine. Microtex Energy Private Limited, the group’s battery company, takes every container and cover from Kruger. Our first United States order, polycarbonate exit signs printed, assembled and individually packed, is in production.
Proof
For a global filtration OEM, Kruger moulds 20 per cent glass-filled polypropylene air-filter housings, supplied continuously since 2010 to six of its plants. The name appears here once written permission is received.

Three ways to use the capacity
- Transfer an existing mould. Incoming mould inspection, bench check, T1 trial on the specified resin, and a first-article report signed before the first commercial shipment. The written process is on the tool transfer page.
- Build a duplicate tool for a second source. Customer-funded and your property, designed by Kruger with CAE mould-flow before steel is cut and made through partner toolrooms. The four published tooling cost bands are on the mould cost guide.
- Place a new part on open capacity. Send the drawing and the annual quantity; the reply covers machine fit, material and a 3D-printed prototype for fit checks if you want one.
Seven questions to ask any moulder offering spare capacity
Capacity is open hours on the tonnage band your tool needs, not a count of machines. These seven questions separate a real offer from a hollow one.
- Which machine, exactly, and does my shot fit it? A real answer names a clamp force and checks platen fit and shot capacity.
- How many open hours a month on that band, and for how long? A moulder who answers in hours has looked at the schedule.
- What happens to my slot when your anchor customer has a good quarter? Ask for the priority rule in writing.
- Set-up time, set-up charge and minimum run? The three numbers most overflow quotes leave out.
- Is overtime available, and at what cost?
- Show me deliveries made against deliveries promised on a current job. Records, not assurances.
- What process documentation do I get, and does it move with the tool? Set-up sheets and process records travel with the tool.
We answer the hours question in the quotation for your part, and where a programme brings assured volumes, Kruger adds machines against them. The form below has a tool transfer option and an urgent production gap timeline.
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 Repeat production part, or Tool transfer if your mould is moving to us. 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.
