The same machines. The same drawings. The same hands.
A precision-machinery line incorporated in India in June 1960. Today MOI Engineering Private Limited carries it forward — same designs, same patterns, same team, same standards.
// HERITAGE · INCORPORATED JUNE 1960
One precision line. Six decades. Carried forward, today, as MOI Engineering Private Limited.
The machinery line we build began in Calcutta in 1960 and has been engineered in Mohali, Punjab for over five decades. In 2022 we acquired its complete intellectual property — and kept the people who knew it best.
The same drawings. The same patterns. The same hands.
Under a new company. With the same hands.
In 2022 a new company — MOI Engineering Private Limited — acquired the complete intellectual property of this precision-machinery line: every design, every pattern, and the MOI Engineering name, trademark and logos. We took on the genuine line — its real drawings, not reverse-engineered copies.
We took custody of six decades of drawings — and brought the engineering team along with them. Every machine and every spare we ship today comes from those original designs, built by the same hands that have made them for years. We support the original clients who have run these machines for decades, and new ones discovering them now.

The Legacy, Carried Forward
A new company — MOI Engineering Private Limited — acquires the complete IP, designs, patterns and the MOI Engineering trademark, and brings the engineering team with it. Same designs, same patterns, same hands — now supplying spares and new machines to original and new clients.
What the legacy means today
Heritage is only worth keeping if it keeps working.
That six-decade line of drawings isn't an archive on a shelf — it's what comes off our shop floor every week. Our machines make 5,000 cigarettes per minute, wrap 350 packets per minute, and fill up to 1.8 million capsules per day. They run in factories across 50+ countries, from Southeast Asia to the Middle East, from Africa to Europe.
Because we hold the original designs and patterns, the spares we make fit the first time — no reverse-engineering, no guesswork. And because the same engineers are still here, the machine you bought decades ago and the one you order tomorrow are supported by people who know it part by part.
We're not the cheapest. We're not the most expensive. We're the partner that picks up the phone at midnight when your production line goes down.
