Husky Technologies™, a global leader in injection molding technology and solutions, is reinforcing its commitment to India with expanded facilities, technology innovations, and service enhancements designed to support the country’s emergence as a global sustainability leader. This commitment was recently commemorated with a two-day customer event that took place March 20-21, hosted by Husky’s regional leaders and senior executives.

“As we welcomed customers to our Chennai campus, we weren’t just celebrating 25 years of working together, we were demonstrating our intensified commitment to India's future,” said Bradley Selleck, Husky’s CEO. “Our customers in this region have expressed a need for responsive partners who are closer, faster, speak their native language, and can deliver innovative solutions enabling them to be more competitive. We’ve listened and the investments we’re developing deliver on these needs.”
Husky’s presence in India has significantly grown since selling its first system into the country in 1999. The company opened a flagship sales and service office in 2001, followed in 2009 with the groundbreaking of their Chennai manufacturing facility. In May 2023, Husky kicked off the next phase of expansion that culminated with the opening of a new Delhi office in November 2024. The company has now established additional capabilities in India, including a regional proactive monitoring center, enhanced service center, packaging development center, parts distribution center, and learning academy.
Emerging global leader in sustainable manufacturing
India's ambitious sustainability mandates, which require 30% recycled plastic content in packaging by 2026 and 60% by 2029, create both challenges and opportunities for regional producers. Husky's expanded presence supports customers in navigating these requirements through circular economy solutions.
“India has the foundation to emerge as a global leader in sustainable packaging with its unmatched scale, culture of innovation, forward-thinking policies, and unique socioeconomic conditions,” said Robert Domodossola, Husky’s President of Systems and Tooling. “The circular economy is the solution for balancing waste management with essential packaging needs. Our innovative technologies, packaging design expertise, and experience with processing recycled PET offer solutions that enable producers to meet recycled content requirements while achieving high performance and quality standards.”
Husky's strategic focus on India recognizes the country's potential as a global model for sustainable manufacturing, demonstrating how countries can maintain economic growth while embracing circular economy principles.
Introduction of new global enterprise-level monitoring solution
A highlight of Husky’s customer event included an early preview of the company’s new Advantage+Enterprise™ solution, a global offering that builds on the success of the existing Advantage+Elite™ platform to deliver enterprise-wide operational insights.
Introduced in 2021 and currently supporting more than 1,100 contracts around the world, many of Husky’s customers have been using Advantage+Elite™ for single or multiple system monitoring. By studying these systems, Husky was able to determine that those connected to Advantage+Elite™ experience significantly improved operational effectiveness, performance, and part quality. Even more so, customers who employ Advantage+Elite™ across an entire factory experience even steeper improvements. These observations are what led to the development of the new Advantage+Enterprise™ program.
“Our Advantage+Enterprise™ solution addresses critical challenges facing manufacturers both in India and globally,” said Tony Black, Husky’s President of Service. “We see that when customers employ the Advantage+ ecosystem across an entire plant or across a multi-factory enterprise, they gain powerful data visibility and enterprise-level insights that they previously never had access to. We’re excited to see how such holistic insights could be invaluable when addressing operational issues, such as bridging skilled labor gaps or introducing new recycled PET processing into an operation.”
