About HEM Automation

Engineering Excellence
Since 2005

Two decades of building cap and closure machines trusted by India's leading FMCG, pharma, and industrial manufacturers.

Our Story

Born from a Passion
for Engineering

HEM Automation was founded in 2005 by Mr. R.L. Chitnis — a mechanical engineer who saw that India's packaging industry needed better, more affordable automation.

Starting from a workshop in Mumbai's Bhandup industrial area, HEM grew by solving real production problems — inconsistent slitting, high downtime, quality defects, and operator safety risks. Every machine we build is a direct response to a challenge a customer told us about.

Today, with 150+ machines installed across India and a team of dedicated engineers, we remain a founder-led, customer-first company. Our edge is not just the machines we build — it's the relationships we keep.

Our Values

What We Stand For

🎯
Precision First
Every component is manufactured with exacting tolerances. We don't ship a machine unless we're confident it will perform flawlessly at your site.
🛡️
Safety by Design
Safety enclosures, torque limiters, and interlocks are not add-ons — they're engineered into every machine from day one.
🔧
Honest After-Sales
We answer the phone. Our after-sales team is responsive, honest about timelines, and committed to getting you back to full production fast.
🤝
Customer Focus
We've built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time. We take every enquiry seriously and every installation personally.
