Husky celebrated a major milestone in our collaboration with Kriya Medical Technologies Pvt. Ltd., marked by the successful deployment of the first ICHOR™ integrated medical system in India capable of producing both 13x100 and 13x75mm blood collection tubes. The inauguration ceremony, held on September 18, 2024, at Kriya’s Chennai facility, was a notable event attended by Anu Moturi, Kriya's Founder and CEO, Husky’s executive medical team, and government representatives, including the Minister for Industries, Investment Promotion & Commerce, Government of Tamil Nadu.

Kriya’s goal is to evolve from a regional leader into a prominent player in the global market. Their investment in this project, supported by Husky’s innovative system approach and comprehensive service agreement, underscores this goal while reinforcing their commitment to excellence. Husky’s ICHOR™ system is the ideal complement, capable of producing up to 250 million tubes/year and demonstrating a cycle time of less than 5.5 seconds, which is currently the market’s fastest. The Advantage+Elite™ service agreement was also a critical factor, providing Kriya with 24/7 expert support and real-time monitoring to ensure optimal performance, part quality and production reliability.

A primary reason for bringing production inhouse was to achieve a cost-effective and stable supply of high-quality parts – aligning with Kriya’s vision to be recognized as a premium-quality supplier for blood collection tubes both locally and internationally. The successful collaboration, which involved defining the injection solution, selecting resins, and facilitating system integration, highlights the strength of this joint effort and Husky’s role in supporting Kriya’s growth and market leadership goals.
