The project focuses on identifying and structuring financing instruments adapted to the needs of early-stage ventures operating in civil law systems. Contractual solutions widely used in common law jurisdictions, such as convertible notes, simplified convertible preferred shares, and SAFE agreements, have proven effective in reducing cost, complexity, and negotiation time. However, their application within civil law frameworks requires further legal development, particularly to ensure compatibility with Islamic finance principles.

Within this framework, the initiative combines research, comparative legal analysis, and contract design to review existing risk-sharing financing models, assess their alignment with Islamic finance principles, and examine the feasibility of adapting comparable mechanisms to the Spanish legal framework. Particular attention is given to identifying enabling factors as well as legal and regulatory constraints that may affect their implementation.

Building on this analysis, the project will develop a set of Shari’ah-compliant risk-sharing contract models fully compatible with Spanish and European Union law. These models are conceived to ensure legal enforceability, economic efficiency, and adaptability for use across EU Member States and, more broadly, in non-European civil law jurisdictions, including North Africa and the Gulf.

The project also evaluates the potential of these instruments beyond early-stage ventures, with a view to supporting entrepreneurship more broadly and contributing to more ethical, inclusive, and socially responsible economic development.

“This project represents an important step in strengthening the Islamic finance industry by translating its core principles of risk sharing, fairness, and real economic activity into legally robust instruments suitable for contemporary startup ecosystems,” said Dr. Sami Al-Suwailem, Acting Director General of the IsDB Institute. “By anchoring these solutions in European civil law frameworks, the initiative supports the development of Islamic finance in Europe and offers scalable models adaptable to Muslim countries with civil law or hybrid legal systems, reflecting IsDBI’s commitment to ethical, inclusive, and innovation-driven finance at a global level.”

Dr. Celia de Anca, Deputy Dean and expert in Islamic Finance at IE University, who is leading the development of this project, said. “Ensuring that entrepreneurs have access to suitable financial tools is essential for the success of their ventures and for the sustainable development of local and regional economies.

Startups play a key role in innovation and social value creation. Islamic finance offers principles that are highly relevant today, but they require practical and flexible legal instruments that can work across different jurisdictions. This initiative responds to that need and comes at a particularly relevant moment, with the new EU-INC (European Inclusive Company) framework, which will greatly facilitate the adoption of these legal innovations across Europe.”

The India Grand Opening took place on January 20, 2026, marked by a traditional Indian inauguration ceremony. On January 21, 2026, customers and partners were invited to a customer event to gain insights into the new facility and its technical capabilities.

India as a Key Growth Market

India is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing markets for injection molding applications. With the new site, Molding Solutions has moved closer to customers in the region while creating a strong foundation for sustainable growth. The investment is aimed at shortening lead times, expanding production capacity, and further enhancing service levels.

The global market for hot runner systems and related injection molding technologies is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars, with Molding Solutions currently holding a market share of below 10 percent globally. In India, the company estimates the addressable market at approximately USD 200 million, with its current market share in the 15–20 percent range, reflecting strong growth momentum in the region.

While Molding Solutions is already strongly positioned in the automotive sector – particularly through the Synventive brand – the company sees its fastest growth in medical, healthcare, FMCG and electronic applications, driven by rising demand for high-precision molded components and advanced manufacturing standards.

Local-for-Local as Part of the Global Production Strategy

Until now, a large share of the Indian market has been served from Molding Solutions’ production facilities in China. The new site significantly reduces this dependency and enables a consistent local-for-local approach. The India facility will play a central role in supplying not only the domestic market but also the wider Asian region, including Southeast Asia, Japan, and South Korea, while China will continue to serve its domestic market independently.

Molding Solutions’ leadership highlighted that India is now set to become the company’s primary manufacturing and service hub for Asia (excluding China), strengthening supply chain resilience and reducing reliance on cross-border imports.

From India, Molding Solutions now supplies both the domestic market and other Asian countries, while global production capacity has been expanded without replacing existing locations.

“India is one of our most important growth markets worldwide. With this new facility, we are creating the conditions for shorter lead times, greater flexibility, and even closer technical collaboration with our customers in the region while maintaining our global standards,” says Marcello Vendemiati, President of Molding Solutions.

Comprehensive Hot Runner Capabilities on Site

The new facility provides the full range of capabilities for the development, manufacturing, and support of hot runner systems. At the start of operations, systems from the Synventive and Thermoplay brands are being manufactured and supported on-site.

Currently, the Pune facility is capable of manufacturing approximately 50 percent of the company’s product portfolio, with plans to expand to full product range coverage as market demand grows and local operations scale further.

Key technical capabilities include:

• Design Engineering
• Mold flow analysis
• Application checks
• Assembly of hot runner systems
• After-sales service, including a repair centre
• Quality management and key account management

This setup covers all major stages of the hot runner value chain and ensures globally consistent quality and process standards.

Globally Connected, Locally Focused

At launch, the site employs a team covering engineering, operations, sales, after-sales service, and administration. Teams are in ongoing exchange with Molding Solutions’ global network in Europe, China, and the United States, working in continuous exchange.

Over the next few years, the company expects its shop-floor workforce to grow to around 120 employees, with total headcount including engineering, sales, and administrative teams reaching up to 250 professionals, subject to market growth. By the end of 2026, staffing levels are projected to reach approximately 220 employees.

Molding Solutions has already received strong interest from customers, with over 120 companies expected to visit the new facility as part of its customer engagement programme following the inauguration.

At the same time, the local Indian team brings deep knowledge of regional market requirements, enabling highly responsive and customer-focused technical support.

Molding Solutions invested in a 16,000-square-meter production and office facility with a modern machinery fleet.

Investment, R&D, and Long-Term Expansion Outlook

Molding Solutions has invested approximately USD 30 million to date in the Pune facility, primarily in high-precision machinery, production systems, and fixed manufacturing infrastructure. The company expects total investment in the site to reach USD 50 million as the facility continues to scale.

At a global level, the group invests close to 5 percent of annual revenue into research and development, amounting to approximately USD 20 million per year, focused on new technologies, product innovation, and advanced manufacturing solutions.

Looking ahead, the company plans to further expand manufacturing scope, local engineering capabilities, and R&D activities in India. Leadership noted that India is expected to evolve into a major global design and manufacturing hub for tooling and injection molding technologies, shifting from an import-driven model to one increasingly focused on domestic production and exports.
