Yudo, AMTEC Launch Hot Runner Systems Training Programme

As plastic manufacturing moves towards greater precision and efficiency, the demand for specialised technical know-how is growing steadily. Addressing this emerging need, Yudo, a global name in hot runner systems has teamed up with the Arvind Mehta Technology and Entrepreneurship Centre (AMTEC) to offer a new training programme focused on Hot Runner Systems (HRS), essential to modern injection mould and moulding.

Backed by certification from the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), the programme runs for 70 hours and combines real-world learning with hands-on practical exposure. It’s been set up as part of a wider initiative driven by AIPMA, Skill India, and AMTEC to build stronger links between technical education and actual shop-floor requirements.

Vishal Agarwal, President of Yudo Hot Runner India, highlighted the importance of such programmes. “We see technology evolving rapidly. This kind of practical training helps professionals keep up with industry expectations and apply their learning in direct, measurable ways,” he said.

The course is not merely academic, it’s directly shaped by ongoing industry demands. Participants are trained to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot Hot Runner Systems, a task that plays a direct role in reducing waste and improving efficiency in production lines, added Mr. Agarwal.

Mr Arvind Mehta, despite his multiple commitments, has been closely involved in shaping this training platform. His focus remains steady on long-term skill development for young professionals entering the manufacturing space. The facility at AMTEC, based in Mumbai, provides a structured environment combining theory with active workshop practices.

The first batch of trainees recently completed the course, marked by a convocation ceremony held at AMTEC. Many shared that the mix of classroom insights and hands-on sessions gave them confidence to take on technical roles with greater clarity.

This is one of the first initiatives of its kind in the industry; with future sessions already being planned, the 'Yudo–AMTEC' programme is shaping up as a meaningful step toward bridging the gap between classroom skills and factory floor impact.
