Built Here Since 1960, and Still Made by the Same Hands 

The designs, the drawings and the patterns for these machines are in our plant in Mohali. That is why we can still make a part for a machine older than the people running it, and why a call gets answered in a day.

What MOI Engineering is

MOI Engineering Private Limited builds packaging, wrapping and cigarette machines, and the spare parts for them, at one plant in Mohali, Punjab. This line of machines has been made in India since 1960. We hold the designs, drawings and patterns, so a machine bought decades ago can still be repaired, converted or fitted with a part made this week.

Four Things That Are True Here

And are not true of a machine bought from a catalogue.

1

The same machines, made in the same town, since 1960

This line of machines has been built in India since 1960, and in Mohali since 1972. The designs, the drawings and the patterns are here, in our plant, not in an archive on another continent. That is why we can still make a part for a machine older than most of the people running it.

2

Spares from the drawing, or from your worn part

Where we hold the original drawing, we make the part from it. Where we do not, we measure the worn part you send us and make it again. Either way a machine here does not die because a supplier abroad stopped answering the phone.

3

Built for the plants that actually run them

Our machines run in more than twenty countries, and the ones closest to home tell us the most: what the humidity does, what the power supply does, and which part the operator will be changing at two in the morning. The machines are built around that, not around a catalogue.

4

One place makes it, one place mends it

Design, machining, assembly and spares are under one roof in Mohali. When something is wrong there is one number to ring, and the person who answers can walk to the machine that made the part.

What We Promise, in Plain Time

A line that stops costs money by the hour, so a service promise is only worth something if it is specific.

Within a day

We answer

Every enquiry, breakdown call and parts question gets a real answer within one day, not a ticket number.

One working day

An engineer reaches you, nearby

Within reach of Mohali, an engineer is with you inside one working day.

As fast as travel allows

An engineer reaches you, elsewhere

Further out in India, and abroad, it depends on flights, trains and visas. We give you the honest date on the call rather than a comfortable one.

Within a day

Stocked parts leave

Anything we hold goes out within a day of the order being confirmed.

Quoted case by case

Custom parts are made

A part we have to make takes the time it takes to make properly. You get that date up front.

We would rather give you a date we can keep than a date that sounds better.Repair, maintenance and AMC

On the Molins name

MOI Engineering Private Limited is an independent manufacturer. In about 2022 the present owners acquired the designs, drawings, patterns and the trademark for this line of machines. We did not buy the company, and we have no stake in Molins Ltd of the United Kingdom, which owns the Molins mark. Where the pages on this site name MK8, MK9, HLP or a Molins machine, it is to say which machine a part or a service fits, and for nothing else.

What Buyers Ask First

How long has MOI Engineering been making these machines?

This line of machines has been built in India since 1960 and in Mohali since 1972. MOI Engineering Private Limited holds the designs, drawings, patterns and trademark, acquired in about 2022. The machines, the drawings and the people who know them are in one plant in Mohali, Punjab.

Can you supply spares for an old MK8, MK9 or HLP machine?

Yes. Where we hold the original drawing we make the part from it. Where we do not, we measure the worn part you send us and make it again. MOI Engineering is an independent manufacturer; Molins is a trademark of its owner, and those model names are used only to say which machine a part fits.

How fast can you get an engineer to my plant?

Within one working day if you are in reach of Mohali. Elsewhere in India, and abroad, it depends on travel, and we will give you the real date when you call. We answer every call within a day either way.

What happens when I need a spare part urgently?

Anything we stock leaves within a day of the order being confirmed. A part we have to make is quoted case by case with a real date, because a date we can keep is worth more than a date that sounds better.

Do you build machines that are not in your catalogue?

Yes. Special-purpose machines and change parts are a large part of what the shop does. Send a drawing, a sample or a description of the job and we will tell you whether it is something we should build.

Where are the machines made?

All of them at our plant at C-15, Industrial Area, Phase-1, Mohali, Punjab, India. Design, machining, assembly and spares are on the same site.

Tell Us the Machine and the Problem

A model number, a photograph of the worn part, or a description of the job. We answer within one working day.
