In 1983, one of the engineer decided to retire from active partnership and hence the constitution of HILDEN & CO., Engineers was changed to a Private Limited Company named as HILDEN PACKAGING MACHINES PVT. LTD. The name was selected to give proper perspective to HILDEN’s activities not only in Bottling Plants but also to cover Packaging Machines.

Expansion

Within three years of establishment, the need for larger manufacturing facility became imminent. A one thousand square meter plot was purchased in 1974 and the factory building of 5000 sq. ft. was ready for occupation in April 1975. The new building had ample space for machine shop, assembly shop as well as the R & D department, the heart of HILDEN’S activities. The same building by 1980 was expanded into 10,000 square feet, a three storeyed structure, housing the complete activities of HILDEN.

A second factory building was purchased in the neighboring Baroda in Gujarat State having 20,000 square feet by t he year 1986. Thus, today there are 30,000 square feet of factory buildings – housing two machine shops, assembly shops, administration offices and a R & D Center.
