Our Story

Built on Precision and Purpose

Founded in 1996 by Mr. PL. Kannappan with a single stamping press and a team of 50 engineers, Karpagam Engineers began its journey with a singular focus: to manufacture automotive components that set new benchmarks in quality and precision.

Over the next two decades, we systematically expanded our capabilities – adding CNC machining in 2008, robot welding automation in 2016, and plastic injection molding in 2018. Today, our greenfield facility houses over 200 engineers, technicians, and quality professionals, manufacturing 50 million+ precision components annually for India’s leading automotive OEMs.

Certified to IATF 16949:2016, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018, we have been recognized with multiple supplier excellence awards by Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, and Tata Motors – a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality, delivery, and partnership.
