Japan Steel Works India Pvt Ltd has established a new Experience Centre in Gurugram, Haryana, to expand its engagement with customers in India’s plastics and machinery market. The centre is intended to strengthen the company’s presence and support customer outreach through hands-on access to production equipment and technology.
The facility opened on 27 September 2025 near Indira Gandhi International Airport and spans approximately 840 square metres. It serves as a hub for demonstrations, technical discussions and application support, in line with the company’s medium-term management plan JGP2028.
The Experience Centre exhibits a range of production equipment, including an operational 180-tonne injection moulding machine with a 40-millimetre screw diameter and a shot capacity of 160 grams (polystyrene). It also features the TEX-αR series twin-screw extruder used for compounding and materials processing, along with peripheral systems such as controllers and material feeders.
Film and sheet manufacturing equipment capable of producing polypropylene, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, nylon, ethylene-vinyl acetate, expanded polyethylene, separator films, capacitor films and polymethyl methacrylate sheets is also displayed.
Additional installations include a hot press for bonding multilayer sheet materials under heat and vacuum conditions, and a laminator used to apply insulating films with precise uniformity.
The site will also function as a training and education venue for engineers, hosting monthly seminars aligned with market requirements and technology developments.
JSW expects the centre to support collaboration with customers in evaluating production challenges and new application needs. The company anticipates increased engagement as plastics demand in India continues to grow, driven by manufacturing expansion.
Japan Steel Works India Pvt Ltd supplies injection moulding machines, extruders and related processing equipment to industrial customers across sectors such as automotive, packaging, consumer goods and electronics.
The establishment of the centre was supported by Kyokuto Boeki Kaisha Ltd, Kubota Corporation and Matsui Technologies India Limited, which contributed to equipment integration and operational readiness.
