A Legacy of Growth

Auxein Medical owes its beginnings to a small, one-room engineering equipment manufacturing unit that Mr. Ashok Luthra started with virtually no background in entrepreneurship. But then his surgeon friend took note of the quality and finish of his products and urged him to enter the specialised area of orthopaedic implants. In 1996, Crown Plastic was established to manufacture the Austin Moore Prosthesis. This was Delhi’s first ever production unit in this category. Soon the brand too found a following in the National Capital Region’s top clinics and hospitals. In 1999, Mr. Luthra was joined by his two elder sons, Deepak and Gaurav, who leveraged their respective areas of expertise in business management and technology to see the company grow to a team of 50 and a state-of-the-art facility which now produced a wider range of trauma-based orthopaedic implants for a growing domestic market.

In 2008, the enterprise experienced yet another wave of fresh energy when the youngest son Rahul returned from his higher studies in Australia and New Zealand and brought with him a vision to go global. With his team of young collaborators, innovative medical and marketing minds, he helped the organisation embark on an era of rapid modernisation and international expansion.

This was the birth of Auxein Medical in its current avatar, an indigenous enterprise with world-class systems, a global footprint and a futuristic vision.

Our openness to ideas makes us favored collaborators.

Every individual in our enterprise is driven by the motivation to heal people. Every aspect of our production, management and administration points to the close eye we keep on quality standards and regulatory compliance. As an Indian company we feel proud to showcase our capability in delivering excellence every time. With an international outlook we continue to evolve our technology; with an Indian heart, we serve patients and our associates according to their specific needs, with the intent to build long-lasting relationships.
