REDEFINING CNC WITH PERFORMANCE SERIES

Innovation and precision took center stage at Lemon Tree Premier, Pune, on September 1, 2025, as Precision Engineering Technologies (PETECH), a Phillips group company, raised the curtain on its new ‘Performance Series’ CNC machines. The exclusive media preview blended cutting-edge technology with the spirit of Indian manufacturing excellence, spotlighting a strategic partnership-powered breakthrough portfolio that has already clocked over 500 global installations.

The landmark evening opened with an address from Nitin Mehra, President, PETECH, who set the tone for the event. Welcoming the attendees, Mehra said, “It’s not just about unveiling a new line of CNC machines; it’s about celebrating the vision to make precision manufacturing more powerful, more intelligent, and more accessible across industries and geographies.” Highlighting the rapid adoption of the series, he noted, “In just two years, our ‘Performance Series’ has already achieved over 500 global installations—spanning India, the Middle East, and Malaysia. This remarkable adoption reflects the trust and confidence our customers have placed in us.”

The keynote speaker of the event, Partho Kar, Joint Managing Director, Jaykay Enterprises Ltd, reinforced this spirit of progress, stating, “The CNC business in India is projected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 17 percent over the next decade, so that’s quite high, and there is a lot of room for innovation and excitement.” Further he pointed out, “Manufacturing excellence demands cutting-edge innovation, and that requires both industry and institutions to prioritize R&D as a national mission.” He noted, “What Indian industry needs today are not just equipment suppliers, but solution providers. That is where PETECH stands apart—because it brings reliability, innovation, and above all, trust. Built to deliver precision, productivity, and reliability at scale, the ‘Performance Series’ represents the future of manufacturing with Industry 4.0-ready technologies, IoT connectivity, predictive maintenance capabilities, and automation-driven designs.”

Charting a New Benchmark

Unfolding the ‘Performance Series’ portfolio before the audience, Sumeet Bengeri, Vice President, PETECH, shared, “When we started building the ‘Performance Series’, our vision was clear: we wanted to create a machine line that could redefine precision manufacturing.”

Stating that the vision has come to life, Bengeri said, “The ‘Performance Series’ includes high-performance vertical machining centers (VMCs), horizontal machining centers (HMCs), CNC turning centers with Y-axis, 5-axis machining centers, drill tap centers, vertical turning lathes—and now, even collaborative robots, or cobots. He continued to elaborate on the guiding philosophy of the ‘Performance Series’—creating smarter, versatile platforms that can handle complexity with ease and deliver precision at scale. 

Highlighting the worldwide machine installations, he added, “For us, this is not only a business achievement—it is a movement. A movement towards smarter, stronger, performance-driven manufacturing, catering to precision-demanding industries that are shaping tomorrow, such as Aerospace, Defence, Automotive, Semiconductors, Energy, Medical, Die & Mold, and General Engineering.”

Bengeri offered a powerful call to action and said, “Performance is a mindset that says: don’t settle, push limits. A mindset that challenges industries to perform beyond expectations. A mindset that makes PETECH not just a machine builder, but a partner in shaping the future of manufacturing.”

The ‘Performance’ Take for a Global Future

The launch evening was a mix of inspiration, innovation, and ambition. The event showcased PETECH’s growing stature in the machine tool ecosystem. With strategic alliances with industry leaders like Mastercam, Renishaw, MMC Hardmetal, Zoller, and Nikken, the ‘Performance Series’ has been positioned not merely as machines but as part of a connected and comprehensive manufacturing ecosystem.

The senior leadership from PETECH underscored the ‘Make in India’ vision driving growth and aptly put it, “Our goal is making precision manufacturing accessible globally. Aligned with India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative, we’re expanding domestic manufacturing to produce our ‘Performance Series’ portfolio within the country.”
