About the Business & Position Overview

In 1935, Godrej Tooling was established. A tool room, that was the most advanced in India for its time. The big idea behind this was to encourage the indigenisation of machine tools. This forward-thinking vision, coupled with the highly skilled expertise of the tool room, were the reasons why Godrej & Boyce got the first order to manufacture satellite components for ISRO. Over the years, Godrej Tooling has retained its position as a key player in the design and manufacture of tools and tooling equipment. The business manufactures custom-built, high-quality tooling that caters to a broad cross-section of players across industries. The business has expertise in industrial machines, pressure dies, casting dies, press dies, die casting dies, thermo-compression moulds, complex and large-sheet metal tooling for auto panels, and progressive dies. Godrej Tooling is a systems-driven organization, eager to learn and experiment keeping abreast of the latest technology platforms, software and manufacturing processes. Its commitment to innovation ensures that even today, the business is among India's most advanced tool rooms, and proudly serve customers such as Honda Cars & Motorcycles, Toyota, Suzuki, Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors, Caparo, and Valeo.
