Milacron Inaugurates First Global Capability Center in Coimbatore, India
New engineering-led center houses more than 60 engineers, deepening technical capability and bringing localized support to customers across the region
Milacron, a global leader in plastics processing technologies, has inaugurated its first Global Capability Center (GCC) in Coimbatore, India. Built to house a growing team of more than 60 engineers, the center marks a significant step in Milacron’s continued investment in engineering capability, customer responsiveness, and long- term global growth.
“Coimbatore has given us access to a remarkable pool of engineering talent that will help shape what we build next — working closely with our engineering and new product development teams at headquarters to bring new innovations to life faster and with greater depth. I’m proud of every associate here; this is only the beginning of what we’ll achieve together,”said Suraj Thodimarath, Managing Director, Milacron India.
Strengthening Engineering Capability
At its core, the GCC expands Milacron‘s engineering capacity. Its team of more than 60 specialized engineers works in close collaboration with the company’s engineering and new product development (NPD) function at headquarters, accelerating innovation and solution development for the plastics processing industry. Milacron expects the team to grow further as it continues to invest in engineering talent.
Customer and Business Impact
The GCC also brings Milacron closer to its customers. With a dedicated sales and service team now operating from the new Coimbatore facility, Milacron is enhancing its localized, on-the-ground support for customers across South India. This on-site presence enables faster regional response, deeper access to specialized engineering expertise, and a stronger pipeline for product innovation.
By pairing expanded engineering capacity with an enhanced local service presence, Milacron is positioning itself to respond more quickly to evolving customer needs while continuing to invest in the next generation of plastics processing technology.
Looking Ahead
The GCC reflects Milacron’s long-term commitment to engineering excellence and sustained investment in talent. As the center grows, the company expects it to play an increasingly central role in supporting both regional customer needs and global product development.
