STM – Engineering Excellence, Transforming modern Indian Manufacturing

S&T Machinery (STM) is the manufacturing unit of the S&T Group, a name that has become synonymous with precision, reliability, and innovation in the Indian machine tool industry. Headquartered in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, the S&T Group began its journey in 1996 as a trader of machine tools and accessories. With years of expertise in machine tools.

In 2015, the group expanded into manufacturing with the establishment of S&T Machinery (STM) – a bold move that marked its evolution from a distributor to a full-fledged CNC machinery manufacturer, aligned with the ‘Make in India’ initiative.

In 2017, started the manufacturing of Plastic Injection Moulding Machines, making the high quality injection molding technology to reach all parts of India’s plastic manufacturing areas.

In 2024, started the Laser Cutting Machine Manufacturing with help of Joint Venture signed with SENFENG, China.

Since its inception, STM has grown rapidly, establishing itself as a key player in the CNC machine tools market with over 4200+ successful installations across India. The brand has earned a reputation for engineering excellence, consistent product performance, and unparalleled after-sales support.

Indian manufacturing sector
India’s manufacturing sector is currently experiencing robust growth, albeit with some recent moderation in overall industrial output. Driven by initiatives like Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, and significant policy reforms in ease of doing business, infrastructure, and industrial productivity, India is now poised to become a global manufacturing powerhouse.

Key Sectors Driving Growth (Nationally):

• Automotive: India is a global auto-motive hub, with significant production for both domestic and export markets.
• Electronics: A rapidly growing sector, driven by mobile phone manufacturing, IT hardware, and a push towards semiconductor production.
• Machinery & Equipment: Growth in this segment indicates investment in industrial expansion across various sectors.

While growth is positive, challenges include managing input cost inflation, ensuring broad-based consumption growth (especially in non-durables), and continuously upgrading technology and skills.

ACMEE 2025
ACMEE 2025, by being hosted in Chennai, acts as a force multiplier for the entire Indian manufacturing ecosystem, leveraging Chennai’s existing strengths while addressing broader national manufacturing goals.

Chennai is a pivotal manufacturing hub for India due to several key strengths:
Automotive & Auto Components Powerhouse: Dubbed “Detroit of Asia,” it contributes 30% of India’s auto industry and 35% of auto components, driving significant national automotive output and exports with major global players.
Electronics Manufacturing Hub: Chennai, at Tamil Nadu’s core, accounts for ~30% of India’s electronics exports (e.g., iPhones, laptops) and is expanding with new Electronics Manufacturing Clusters, solidifying its role in India’s tech ambitions.
Diverse Industrial Ecosystem: Its mature ecosystem spans heavy engineering, textiles, chemicals, and rubber, offering broad-based and resilient contributions.
Skilled Workforce & R&D: A strong talent pool from numerous engineering colleges and robust R&D centers fuel innovation and maintain a competitive edge.

Strategic Logistics & Infrastructure: Key ports (Chennai, Ennore, Kattupalli) provide vital connectivity for global supply chains, reinforced by a 94% surge in warehousing in Q1 2025, directly supporting manufacturing expansion. Chennai is not just a regional hub; it’s a cornerstone of India’s manufacturing prowess, particularly in high-value and export-oriented sectors. Its contributions directly impact national manufacturing growth. Hence ACMEE Exhibition will have huge impact for Industrial transformation of South India
