About Abigail Enterprises Pvt. Ltd.

Abigail Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. (AEPL) is an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer of industrial mixing and processing equipment, proudly serving industry since 1993. Headquartered at Tarapur MIDC, Boisar — one of India’s largest industrial zones — we design and manufacture a comprehensive range of equipment including High-Speed Dispersers (HSD), Twin Shaft Mixers, Sigma Kneaders, Basket Mills, Reactors, Planetary Mixers, Pug Mixers, and Attritors.

The right person will be both a process thinker and a hands-on executor who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

You will work directly with the Managing Director and cross-functional team heads, and you will be expected to bring structure, discipline, and vendor intelligence to a function that directly impacts machine delivery timelines and project profitability.
