The new production site will further strengthen Beumer's global factory footprint as well as boost the continued success of its Beumer India subsidiary. With an area of more than ten acres, the new plant will be placed at a highly strategic location, with Reliance MET City offering exemplary infrastructure and support. Beumer will be the first German company to set up production in the development zone. Construction work will commence this summer, and the inauguration of the new plant is scheduled for September 2025.

Beumer Group has been active in India since 2003. Initially catering exclusively to the cement industry, Beumer India has grown significantly over the years and now offers solutions for the airport industry, minerals and mining, automated warehouses and distribution centres in the retail industry, e-commerce, courier, express, and parcel. In addition, Beumer India is also providing engineering support to the group's global network. 

On the product side, Beumer India has been a trailblazer of new bulk and discrete material handling technologies, such as high-capacity, high-speed automatic loop sortation for passenger baggage, fully automated truck loading for cement bags, high-efficiency bulk material transport, curved belt and pipe conveyors. 

Over the years, Beumer strengthened its position in India through various steps, such as diversifying to all business segments as global operations, acquiring ENEXCO Technologies India and FAM India, and establishing a modern manufacturing unit at Naurangpur, Haryana.

"This expansion reflects Beumer Group's strategic focus and commitment to long-term success in India. The new production site plays an important part in our global factory footprint, strengthening our position as a quality leader and partner of choice for our customers", said Rudolf Hausladen, CEO of Beumer Group.

"Our new production site at Reliance MET City offers a convenient ease of business and synergy in approaching infrastructure and facilities with a vision towards sustainable development. Setting up a manufacturing unit in the context is truly 'plug and play', with Reliance staying true to its goal of developing a 'Model Economic Town'", said Nitin Vyas, Cluster Asia CEO, Beumer Group.
