Ogale Machines & Systems is the first manufacturer of Minimum Quantity Lubrication systems in India — founded by a retired Air India pilot who believed Indian engineering deserved a cleaner, smarter way to machine.
For four decades, from 1982 to 2022, Captain Sachin Ogale flew aircraft for Air India — disciplined work that demanded absolute precision and a deep respect for engineering. When he stepped out of the cockpit, he didn't slow down. He went hands-on.
From 2007 to 2023, alongside building Ogale Machines, Captain Ogale ran KwikKut Performance — a vintage car restoration facility that became his real-world laboratory for cutting tools, machining processes, and industrial lubrication. He rebuilt engines, machined replacement parts, and worked with cutting tools across every kind of metal.
That hands-on experience is what led him to MQL. He saw what flood coolant did to tools, to machines, and to workers — and he saw a solution available in Europe and Japan that nobody was making in India. So he built it.
Every CNC shop in India runs on water-based flood coolant. It needs giant tanks, daily maintenance, biocide treatment, filtration, and expensive disposal. It corrodes machines, creates hazardous mist for workers, and becomes a liability as ESG guidelines begin to matter across global supply chains.
MQL technology has been the European and Japanese standard for decades. But nobody manufactured it in India. Imported systems were expensive, unsupported locally, and tied to imported lubricants. That gap is what Ogale set out to close.
I spent more than 20 years machining parts for vintage cars. I saw exactly what flood coolant does — to the tool, to the chip, to the man on the shop floor. MQL was the answer. The only question was why nobody in India was making it. So we did.
From cockpit to workshop floor to manufacturing facility — the milestones along the way.
Captain Sachin Ogale serves as a pilot with Air India, building a career rooted in precision, systems thinking, and a deep respect for engineering excellence.
Captain Ogale builds KwikKut Performance into a vintage car restoration facility in Pune. Hands-on machining and cutting tool work becomes a daily practice — and reveals the limits of conventional flood coolant.
Frustrated by imported MQL systems that were expensive, unsupported, and locked to foreign lubricants, Captain Ogale begins designing an Indian alternative — purpose-built for Indian shop floors and Indian conditions.
Ogale Machines & Systems is established in Pune, becoming the first dedicated MQL manufacturer in India. The first OMS ecosol prototypes go into rigorous testing, and KwikKut® OMSecolube launches alongside the machines as part of the original system vision.
The OMS range now spans five products — OMS 020, 030, 040, OMS RBA, and KwikKut® OMSecolube — all designed, manufactured, and supported from Pune. 100% domestically sourced components. 100% Made in India.
Everything we make is built around what Indian shops actually need: cleaner machining, better tool life, and a practical path to ESG-compliant manufacturing that can be supported from down the road, not the other side of the world.
Every ecosol unit is designed for the long haul. Industrial-grade components, standalone PLC, touchscreen HMI, and condition-based maintenance only after 5 years or 15,000 hours.
100% domestically sourced components. Lubricant blended in Maharashtra. Service team based in Pune. When you buy Ogale, you invest in Indian engineering — and we stand behind it.
99.7% vegetable-based lubricant, food-grade, biodegradable. No hazardous waste, no biocide handling, no wastewater treatment. Cleaner machining that helps Indian manufacturers meet global ESG expectations.
Every ecosol unit leaves our facility on Ashtavinayak Road. Every drop of KwikKut® OMSecolube is blended within Maharashtra. When something needs attention, your call is answered by a team in the same time zone.
We're a small, hands-on company. The fastest way to reach us is WhatsApp or email — and you'll often hear back from the team directly.
