What Tecnicrafts Industries does

Tecnicrafts Industries is an India-based precision tooling manufacturer founded in October 2002 in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, with €50,000 in starting capital and a workforce that has grown from five to 150+ employees. The company produces high-precision work-holding and material-guiding components — including dead-length collets (F-Type), carbide-lined guide bushes, bar feeder collets, ER spindles, and customized special solutions — designed for Swiss-type CNC automatic lathes used across the automobile, defense and aerospace, medical and dental, electronics, watches, and textile industries. All products are designed to be interchangeable across more than 30 leading machine brands, including Citizen, Star, Tornos, Tsugami, and Hanwha, with key precision metrics such as run-out within 0.005mm on ER spindles and carbide pad "split-bearing" guiding on guide bushes.

The company operates three manufacturing plants totaling over 35,000 square feet, with integrated in-house heat treatment and a 2 MW solar facility commissioned in Madurai in March 2023. Manufacturing is ISO 9001:2015 certified, and the firm holds a registered Indian trademark for its collets and guide bushes (granted July 2013). Tecnicrafts participates in major international trade fairs including EMO Hannover (2017, 2019, 2023, 2025), IMTEX (2019), and MSV BRNO (2025), supporting direct export to 14+ countries.

The revenue model is B2B precision hardware sales with quote-based pricing for both catalog products and customized solutions, supplemented by a white-label/private-label manufacturing service that enables third parties to sell Tecnicrafts-produced collets and guide bushes under their own branding. End customers span multiple high-volume precision-engineering verticals, and the company reports more than 1,000 active clients globally. GTM is direct enterprise field sales with downloadable product catalogs, a website-driven lead funnel, and dedicated sales and marketing phone lines; there is no evidence of external institutional capital, and ownership appears to remain with the founding partners.

Products and services

• Dead Length Collets (F-Type) Precision clamping devices used to hold workpieces or tools in Swiss type CNC automatic lathes. Available in straight shoulder, tapered shoulder, internal/external thread configurations. Designed for industrial manufacturers using Swiss type CNC turning machines.
• Carbide Lined Guide Bushes High-precision cylindrical guide components with carbide-lined bore that act as split bearings to guide raw material rods during Swiss CNC turning, reducing friction and improving accuracy. Made from quality steels with high wear-resistant carbides.
• Bar Feeder Collets Spring steel collets with mechanical springing quality for holding raw material bars on automatic barfeeders from Fedek, Iemca, Barload, and Tornos used on Swiss type CNC machines. Available in external thread, internal thread, and pin type configurations.
• ER Spindles Cylindrical ER collet shanks made from high-quality special steels for tool holding in machining centers and Swiss type automatic lathes. Shank made to h6 standards with run-out maintained within 0.005 mm from shank diameter to ER cavity taper.
• Customized/Special Solutions Custom-engineered precision work holding components including high-precision sleeves, closed guide bush, long nose guide bush, V-Line collets, and U-Line guide bushes with round, hexagon, square, and special profile bores for special Swiss turning requirements.
• White Label Solutions Private label manufacturing service allowing businesses to offer their own branded collets and guide bushes. Includes product customization, manufacturing, packaging, and labeling from concept to creation.
