Prasad Group

What Prasad Group does

Prasad Group is an Indian industrial conglomerate headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, founded in 1984 to manufacture plastics auxiliary equipment. The company produces a comprehensive range of capital equipment used alongside primary plastics processing machinery — including drying systems, conveying systems, volumetric and gravimetric dosing/mixing units, compact and screw chillers, mould temperature controllers, servo robots, sprue pickers, slow-speed granulators, PET crystallizers, and extrusion throughput control systems. Its technological base combines proprietary patented designs (automatic dust cleaning for central conveying, unibody casting for volumetric dosing, EPC extrusion throughput control with B&R PLC) with technology imported through joint ventures with Koch Technik (Germany), GWK (Germany), Crizaf (Italy), Moditec (France), and Wemo (Sweden). The group has 11 subsidiary operating entities operating across plastics auxiliary equipment, textile machinery, and water ring vacuum pumps, with 125,000 m² of manufacturing floor space and annual production exceeding 2,500 units.

The company serves plastics processing manufacturers across multiple end-verticals — automotive, pharma & medical, caps & closures, wire & cable, PVC pipes & profiles, blown film, masterbatch compounding, and PET recycling — through a pan-India direct sales and service network of 13 regional offices plus international offices in Bangladesh and Russia. Equipment is sold via enterprise field sales with project-based capital expenditure transactions; aftermarket spare parts and technical services provide recurring revenue. The company maintains active participation in major domestic (PLASTINDIA, PLEXPO, KPLEX, PLASTVISION, PROPAK) and international (K Show Germany, COMPLAST Kenya, ARABPLAST Dubai, RUPLASTICA Russia, IPF Dhaka) industry trade shows as its primary marketing channel. Certifications include CE marking and ROHS compliance on selected products.

Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of capital equipment plus spare parts and technical services revenue; pricing is by quotation through inquiry forms rather than published. Equipment is built to interoperate within a modular ecosystem — central conveying feeds drying units, dosing systems connect to processing machines, and robots integrate via EUROMAP 67/18 interfaces — enabling turnkey line solutions. The company has diversified beyond plastics into textile machinery (warping, sizing, denim preparation, narrow fabric) and water ring vacuum pumps, leveraging its manufacturing and international JV capabilities into adjacent industrial verticals.
