Hand Scraping in India and The Next Global Machine Tool Giant Is Ready to Take Over!

I went to India expecting a whirlwind of culture, history, and maybe the best butter chicken of my life. But what I didn’t expect-what I couldn’t have expected-was to walk into the AceMicromatic Group factory and be absolutely floored by what I saw.
For those unfamiliar, hand scraping is the meticulous, artistic process of manually refining metal surfaces to an astonishing level of precision. It’s an old-school technique that dates back centuries, requiring nothing more than a trained eye, a steady hand, and the patience of a saint.
At this point, I had to do a double take. You mean to tell me that the largest machine tool builder in India, a country rapidly climbing the ranks of global manufacturing powerhouses, still relies on this time-honored craft?
The answer was a resounding yes, and for good reason. While most manufacturers are racing toward full automation, Ace Micromatic has cracked the code of blending traditional craftsmanship with modern production efficiency.
And let me tell you, they’re not just a big deal in India-they’re a force to be reckoned with globally!
Ace Micromatic is already shipping 8,000 to 9,000 machines per year worldwide, with a bold goal of doubling that number to 20,000 machines while hitting a revenue milestone of Rs 10,000 crore (that’s over a billion dollars, folks) by 2025. If you haven’t heard their name yet, you will soon, because they’re about to shake up the global machine tool market in a big way.
But here’s where things really got mind-blowing…
In the manufacturing world, there’s always been this idea-this untouchable unicorn-where you can have two out of the three key factors: good lead times, high quality, or competitive pricing.
Pick two, because getting all three? Impossible. At least, that’s what we thought. But Ace Micromatic? They’re proving everyone wrong.
How?
They’ve gone fully vertical.
They’re not just assembling machines, they own the entire process, right down to their own high-quality forging plant. That means they’re controlling every stage of production-casting, machining, assembly, and quality control-without depending on outside suppliers. This kind of integration is exactly why they can deliver faster, maintain top-tier quality, and still offer cost-effective solutions.
