Southern Moulding Components operates from a dedicated 7,000sq. ft. manufacturing facility designed specifically for Metal InjectionMoulding. The facility features epoxy-coated flooring and grid ceilings to maintain a clean, controlled manufacturing environment suitable for precision production, inspection, and assembly.
The facility has been developed in multiple phases to support scalable growth and increased production capacity.
This comprehensive equipment setup enables SMC to manage the entire MIM process in-house, ensuring consistency, traceability, and quality at every stage.
Southern Moulding Components (SMC) is a specialized manufacturing division of Southern Veneers and Woodworks Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of The Western India Plywoods Limited (WIP). Rooted in decades ofindustrial expertise, SMC represents a strategic expansion into precision metal manufacturing through advanced Metal Injection Moulding technology.

Explore detailed answers about our metal injection moulding technology, material options, applications, and quality standards.
Metal injection moulding combines fine metal powders with a binder, enabling the production of complex, high-strength metal parts with precise geometries and excellent mechanical properties.
Available materials include stainless steels (17-4 PH, 304, 316), carbon steels, 42CrMo4, and a range of pre-alloys and master alloys. Specialty alloys can be sourced for specific requirements.
MIM is suited for automotive, medical, electronics, industrial, security, and power tool components, especially where intricate shapes and high performance are essential.
Parts up to 250 grams can be produced, depending on geometry and volume. The process is optimized for small to medium-sized, detailed components.
Finishing options include magnetic polishing, tumble polishing, shot peening, and additional secondary operations to achieve required surface and dimensional specifications.
Quality assurance involves statistical process control, raw material inspection, and comprehensive final testing to meet customer and industry standards.
