Eirich India Eirich Group- Germany expands in India with new plant in Pune
Kolkata: Eirich India has planned to start production of machinery and equipment as early as Q1 2023 at its new plant in Pune's Chakan industrial area.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the new plant site of the subsidiary of Eirich India took place on April 11 at the Chakan industrial area in Pune.
The company develops engineering and manufacturing advanced technologies for mixing, granulating, dispersing, kneading, reacting, tempering, and fine grinding.
With a proposed new plant in India, the company said it is continuing its strategy of global expansion.
Stephan Eirich, who is the fifth generation to head the family business and sees the expansion of the Indian operations as an important strategic step for the Eirich Group, said, "India has a lot of technical talent and good infrastructure, which is also ideally suited to producing more of our products locally."
Proximity to our customers in the world's major markets is always a guiding principle for the company, he said.
"The second plant in India is in line with the country's "Make in India" philosophy, but also reflects our confidence to serve markets outside India once the ramp-up curve is successfully mastered," he added.
Located on a three-acre site in Pune's Chakan Industrial Area, this new manufacturing facility will produce intensive mixers, associated plant and equipment, the company said in a statement.
Eirich enjoys a strong market position worldwide for its unique mixing and processing technology in various industry segments such as metallurgy, refractories, ceramics, agrochemicals, foundry, battery, carbon products and many more, according to the company release.
With the commissioning of the Chakan plant, Eirich India will significantly increase its capacity. The current plant in Mumbai, was established in 1998.
"India is a focus market for Eirich. The Chakan plant, with its expanded capacity, will meet the growing demand for our products in all customer industries. And especially the on-site support of our Indian customers with fast service, spare parts "Made in India" and good process consultancy is key for us. In line with group strategy from 2025 onwards, Eirich India will also be able to supply to overseas markets with parts and complete machines through a strong network of Eirich Group companies in 12 countries," said Sourav Sen, MD, Eirich India.
