What EMUGE-FRANKEN India Pvt. Ltd. does

EMUGE-FRANKEN India Pvt. Ltd. is a Pune-headquartered manufacturer and distributor of precision cutting tools, operating as a wholly-owned Indian subsidiary of the German precision tooling group EMUGE-Werk Richard Glimpel GmbH & Co. KG (founded 1920, Lauf an der Pegnitz). The company commenced commercial operations in India in 2000 from a manufacturing facility at Kondhanpur near Pune, producing and supplying threading technology (machine taps in HSS and carbide, thread milling cutters in M1 to M60 sizes), milling technology under the FRANKEN brand (solid carbide end mills, PCD/CBN/diamond-coated end mills, indexable milling cutters for materials up to 66 HRC), tap holders and accessories (Softsynchro QuickLock, Speedsynchro Mini, Speedsynchro Modular/NFC), and clamping technology (EvoGrip centering vises with up to 75 kN clamping force, EvoPoint zero-point clamping systems with up to 80% set-up time reduction when combined, EvoBlock height spacers, FPC/FMC collet holders, powRgrip rapid tool change, Cold-Air nozzles). The company positions itself as an end-to-end solutions provider for threading, milling, and holding/clamping workflows and supports customers with advanced tooling supplied directly from its German principal.

The company serves primarily the Indian automotive, aerospace, and general engineering industries with B2B sales of industrial tooling consumables and capital equipment. Its go-to-market is a dual direct-plus-channel model: a direct field sales team of regional managers covering 25+ Indian territories combined with an extensive authorized dealer and channel partner network spanning more than 30 Indian industrial cities (including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Coimbatore, Pune, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and others). The company supplements this with event-led demand generation through its multi-city TECHNOLOGY MEET 2026 'Precision Simplified' roadshow program, executed in partnership with VDMA India and complementary tooling vendors (REGO-Fix India, Oerlikon Balzers Coating India), and a content-led digital presence via corporate website, downloadable catalogues, and LinkedIn.

Revenue is generated predominantly through hardware sales of precision cutting tools, supplemented by professional services for advanced tooling solutions beyond its local manufacturing capacity that are imported from the German parent. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is delivered through quote-based direct and dealer channels. The company employs approximately 107 staff across manufacturing, engineering, sales, and administration. The India entity is privately held under the parent group, with no independent fundraising, M&A, or leadership changes indicated in the source data.
