History

Founding and early development

edit

PTC Industries was incorporated in 1963 as Precision Tools and Castings. The company started production as an investment casting foundry producing metal parts for industrial applications.[2]

Technology development

edit

In 1998, the company licensed the Replicast process from Castings Technology International (CTI), a United Kingdom-based research organisation.[2]

Later, PTC Industries developed RapidCAST, a casting process for large and complex components, and expanded into ceramic moulding for single-piece castings. During this period, PTC's industrial customers included Rolls-Royce, Metso, Siemens and Flowserve.

In 2014, Forbes India included the company in its list of "Hidden Gems", a group of fast-growing Indian companies.[2]

Expansion into aerospace manufacturing

In 2017, PTC Industries established a titanium casting facility at its Advanced Manufacturing Technology Centre in Lucknow, with technical collaboration from CTI.[3]

The company manufactures titanium and superalloy materials and precision components for aerospace applications.[4]

In May 2025, India's Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated the titanium and superalloy materials plant at the Strategic Materials Technology Complex (SMTC) in the Lucknow node of the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor. The facility spans approximately 50 acres and produces titanium and superalloy materials.[5]

Advanced metallurgical technologies including Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR), Plasma Arc Melting (PAM), Electron Beam (EB) melting, and Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) are being commissioned at this plant.[5]

In 2026, TIME and Statista included PTC Industries among India's fastest-growing companies.[6]
