17 Years of Alligator Automations: From Vision to Global Impact

Celebrating nearly two decades of engineering excellence, innovation, and unwavering commitment to packaging automation

The Beginning: A Bold Vision Takes Shape

Seventeen years ago, in the bustling landscape of India’s emerging industrial sector, Alligator Automations was born from a simple yet ambitious vision: to revolutionize packaging automation with innovation, precision, and reliability. What began as a small team of passionate engineers with big dreams has transformed into something truly remarkable, a thriving Indian multinational company that now serves over 14 countries worldwide.

Today, as we reflect on this incredible journey, we see not just a company that has grown, but an ecosystem that has flourished. With 3 international offices, 500+ dedicated employees, and a vibrant network of 1,000+ stakeholders including customers, vendors, and partners, Alligator Automations stands as a testament to what Indian engineering can achieve on the global stage.

The Path Less Traveled: Challenges That Shaped Us

Every great story has its trials, and ours is no different. The journey to becoming a global leader in packaging automation hasn’t been a smooth ride. We’ve navigated market uncertainties that tested our resolve, stayed ahead of rapid technological shifts that demanded constant learning, and competed with established global giants who had decades of head start.

But here’s what sets Alligator apart: we’ve never seen challenges as roadblocks. Instead, every obstacle became a stepping stone to innovation. Each market downturn sparked creative solutions. Every technological shift opened new opportunities. And every competitive pressure only strengthened our commitment to excellence.

With more than 1000 stakeholders and 500 skilled team members, this sense of community was created consciously rather than as a result of our expansion. It brings our founders great joy and serves as the motivation for our mission each and every day.

Looking Forward: The Next Chapter

With new technologies like AI, IoT, and Industry 4.0 reshaping possibilities, the packaging automation sector is changing quickly. We’re actively creating this future rather than merely preparing for it. We are well-positioned for the next stage of growth thanks to our R&D investment, dedication to talent development, and emphasis on sustainable solutions.
