Three Generations of Thermoforming Excellence.
Since 1976, Machinecraft Technologies has been designing and manufacturing vacuum forming and thermoforming machines. A family-owned business now in its third generation, we combine decades of process expertise with modern engineering.
Who is Machinecraft?
Machinecraft Technologies is an Indian manufacturer of industrial vacuum forming and thermoforming machines, headquartered in Mumbai with production facilities in Umargam, Gujarat. Founded in 1976 by the late Mr. B.P. Doshi, a polymer chemist from UDCT Mumbai, the company built India's first vacuum forming machine for processing Polystyrene material.
Today, Machinecraft is led by the third generation of the Doshi family and manufactures custom automatic vacuum forming machines for heavy gauge (PF1-X Series), roll-fed form-cut-stack (FCS Series), and roll-fed pressure forming (AM Series) applications. The company exports to over 35 countries.
What sets Machinecraft apart is their complete process know-how — from sheet manufacturing and part design to tool manufacturing and machine building.
Machinecraft uses international standard components from Siemens (PLC and drives), Festo/SMC (pneumatics), and other European-standard suppliers, ensuring spare parts are easily available locally in any customer's region.
