KDM Engineering

What KDM Engineering does

KDM Groups, which operates under the brand KDM Engineering, is a privately held India-headquartered contract manufacturer specializing in investment casting (lost wax), sand casting, and CNC precision machining for global industrial B2B customers. Its head office is in Rajkot, Gujarat, and its primary manufacturing plant is located at Shapar in the Rajkot district, with regional sales offices in Brantford, Ontario (Canada) and Wangen im Allgäu (Germany). The integrated facility combines foundry operations (medium-frequency induction furnaces with capacities up to 3.5 tons per charge, continuous moulding lines, sand mixers at 80 and 60 tons per hour, and a 30 TPH sand reclamation plant), heat treatment up to 7 tons per charge at 1100°C compliant with AMS 2750, CNC machining on multi-axis centers including 7-axis configurations, EDM wire-cutting and drilling, and in-house quality testing via a 24-channel spectrometer and CNC coordinate measuring machine.

The company serves at least eight end-verticals: oil and gas, fertilizer, chemical, petrochemical, power, steel, food and pharma, automotive, agriculture engineering, general engineering, and paper mill machinery. Industrial valves and pumps are positioned as primary use cases, with components qualified to API 600, API 598, API 6A, and API 6D standards and further compliance to ANSI, ASTM, BS, MSS, and ISO 9001:2015. Independent quality verifications are conducted by LLOYDS, BUREAU VERITAS, and DNV. Investment casting is offered across a unit weight range of 0.050 to 150 kilograms.

Revenue mechanics are project-based and quote-driven: customers submit inquiries via web forms specifying material (carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, alloy steels including duplex, super duplex, nickel-based and cobalt-based super alloys), weight, dimensions, tolerances, surface finish, and required testing; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is settled on a per-project basis. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by a content-oriented company website with detailed service and capability pages. Marketing is light — the website and direct inquiry channels are the primary demand-capture mechanisms — and the international offices serve as local commercial fronts for North American and European buyers. No funding history, revenue, or headcount is publicly disclosed.
