INDUSTRY VISIT
Outcomes of the Workshop

The two day workshop mobilized 18 candidates from different Polymer industries. To name a few were DCM Shriram,
Majore International, R G Polytactics, Autotech-Sirmax India Pvt. Ltd, Machino Plastics. Elysian Design Labs, Kanpur
Plastics Ltd. Etc. The candidates were acknowledged with various ways of reducing cost of production for enhanced
Profits. Different mold designs and advancements in Extrusion and Injection Molding helped the candidates for related
trouble shooting. The candidates were also taken for an exposure to an Industry- RGP Molds for better clarity and in-
sights on the topic. RGP Molds showcased their mold designs and Production unit where rotomolding molds were made
with high quality designing through CNC Machining.

At last, the candidates were also handed over with Certificate on successful completion of this workshop. They showed
interest in attending such kind of workshops in future as well so that it can be helpful and help them with updated ad-
vance technologies in Polymer industry.
