The investment in the Bangalore plant confirms the company’s strong commitment to serve the important and growing Indian market and contribute towards India’s pursuit of comprehensive ‘Make In India’ manufacturing. Comer Industries’ strategy focuses on a close partnership with customers, providing local proximity to ensure competitiveness and access to best logistic expertise.
The all-new facility, equipped with state of the art technologies, will enhance Comer Industries India’s capability to deliver quality products to customers in the Indian region, targeting the highest standards of excellence. The plant will produce axles and transmissions of the Powertrain product line, also for the Asia Pacific region.
The new facility in Bangalore has 4,500m² of covered surface and manufactures axles and transmissions for construction equipment, specifically for self-loading concrete mixers, front end loaders, asphalt pavers, soil compactors, teleboom handlers and special vehicles.
The Bommasandra plant started producing its first model of axle last April and will soon manufacture the entire range of axles, in order to meet local requirements. Comer Industries plans to introduce additional transmissions for agricultural and off-highway machineries, as demanded by the evolving Indian market.
The inauguration ceremony on Thursday 2 June began with a welcome speech by Comer Industries’ president & CEO Fabio Storchi. He said: “India is a very important market for us. Our investment in the Bangalore plant is an evidence of our strong commitment to serve this region in the long term. We strongly believe in the country potential, based on solid drivers such as increase of population, significant GDP growth and rising demand for industrial machineries.
We have set up this facility in Bangalore to participate in India’s growth and development. We look forward to a continuing success with full confidence.”
