What Unique Forgings does

Unique Forgings (India) Private Limited is an Indian forging manufacturer founded in 1987 and formally incorporated as a Private Limited Company in 2007, operating from a 60,000+ square yard campus with 350,000+ square feet of built-up manufacturing space at GIDC Vithal Udyognagar in Anand, Gujarat. The company produces forged and machined components across open die forging (single pieces up to 3,000 kg), closed die forging (up to 150 kg), upsetter forging, screw press forging, and ring rolling, supported by in-house CAD/CAM design, heat treatment (normalizing, annealing, hardening & tempering), 40 CNC turning centers, 12 VMCs, and full metallurgical/chemical/NDT testing laboratories. It holds IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certifications and is an approved supplier to POWER GRID CORPORATION OF INDIA LIMITED. Its product portfolio spans seven end-use verticals — automotive (connecting rods, crankshafts, transmission parts), railway, gears and gearboxes, material handling, heavy engineering and equipment, heat exchangers, and pressure vessels — with complementary offerings in investment casting and high-tensile fasteners supplied through associate firms.

The company sells directly to industrial OEMs and Tier-1 component manufacturers via an enterprise field-sales motion and dedicated marketing personnel, with custom RFQ-based pricing rather than standardized list pricing. Its customer base includes Caterpillar, Daimler, Tata AutoComp, Dana, Mahindra, Eicher, American Axle & Manufacturing, L&T, BHEL, Kirloskar, Bharat Gears, Elecon, Shanthi Gears, Plasser India, Essar, P&G, and dozens of additional enterprise accounts in India, with exports reaching Canada, the USA, Europe, and the UAE. Beyond core forging, Unique Forgings operates within a broader 'Unique group' of associate companies that together cover precision machining, investment casting, high-tensile fasteners, and industrial automation controls, enabling cross-selling of complementary components to the same OEM customers.

The business is currently investing in capacity and capability expansion: a Unit 3 Forging plant with a target capacity of 1,000 MT per month is being commissioned, and a No Bake Sandcasting line is being added to extend the process portfolio beyond forging. Recent customer-side recognition includes the Plasser India Best Supplier Award (2025), the Best in Quality Award for FY 2023-24, and the Eminence Award 2021 as Best Forging Unit in Gujarat. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company remains privately held and founder-managed under the Unique group, with no external institutional investors identified in the available materials.
