The company

Engineered in Punjab, trusted across India

We are a manufacturer of forging dies, pump spare parts, tool holders, hand tools and sheet metal dies, based in the Punjab Industrial Estate — one of Punjab's oldest and most established industrial neighbourhoods.

Our work spans the full tooling cycle. We begin with metallurgical analysis to select the right die steel for the job, machine the geometry on CNC and conventional equipment, apply the correct heat-treatment, and finish by hand-polishing each impression to a mirror surface. The result is tooling that lasts longer, releases cleaner and holds tolerance through long production runs.

Over fifteen years we have delivered more than 1,200 dies and tooling sets to OEMs in the automotive, pump and heavy-engineering sectors, and we remain a hands-on, engineering-first shop where the founder still reviews every job.

What drives us

Three principles behind every job

Quality without shortcuts

Every die is inspected at each stage — material, machining, heat-treatment and finish — so what ships is exactly what was approved.

On-time, every time

A 98% on-time delivery rate is not an accident. We plan capacity tightly and keep clients informed at every milestone.

Partnership, not just supply

We advise on material selection, suggest design improvements and stand behind our tooling long after dispatch.

Leadership

D. Radhakrishnan — Founder & CEO

A toolroom engineer by trade, Radhakrishnan founded Apex tools and Industry with a focus on hot forging dies for automotive components.

Over the years he has led the manufacture of forging dies for cylinder heads, GM hubs, end connectors, centre connectors, rocker arms, bevel gears and pinions, lug gears, crank shafts and bell housings — building a reputation for tooling that performs under real production loads.

He remains hands-on, personally reviewing metallurgy reports and final polishing on every critical job.
