CERATIZIT group inaugurates manufacturing facility expansion in Bengaluru

By OEM Update Editorial December 16, 2019 12:55 pm

In order to satisfy the steadily increasing demand for cutting tools in the Asian markets, the CERATIZIT group last year laid the foundation stone for the expansion of production at the CERATIZIT Bengaluru site.

The expansion is inaugurated by HE Jean Claude Kugener, ambassador of Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in India, in presence of members of the board -Thierry Wolter, Andreas Lackner, Andreas Schwenninger, and Gerhard Bailom, AK Sareen, Anil Kumar. With the expansion, the company has gained the flexibility to accommodate the machines necessary for further growth and to optimise its production processes.

The original building, opened in 2009, currently has an area of 36,500 square ft. The new extension has more than doubled it to 85,000 square feet and now offers the urgently needed space, as Managing director Anil Kumar explains: “Due to the growth in recent years, we have been lacking the space to install additional machines. The extension removes this crucial bottleneck and allows us to continue growing here at the site.”

This flexibility is necessary to meet the group’s ambitious growth targets for India. “Our Indian locations have already grown at an above-average rate in the past. We want to maintain this trend,” explains Executive Board Member Thierry Wolter. On an average, the Indian business of the internationally active carbide specialist is expected to grow at double-digit rates in the coming years.

HE .Jean Claude Kugener, ambassador of Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in India says “We are celebrating the 70 years of our diplomatic relations with India and celebrating 90 years of Luxembourg’s first vice-consulate in Bombay. We have become strong partners over the years, a relation that has further deepened with the inauguration of the resident Embassy in Delhi in 2002. The bilateral relations between both countries are developing fast. The ever-increasing political, economic, fnancial, cultural and people-to-people bonds give us a promising outlook for the next decades of friendship.”

Made in India for Asia (and the world)
Since this growth cannot be achieved solely through the Indian market, the group is gradually expanding its production facilities in India to serve as a production hub for the whole of Asia, says Thierry Wolter. “The two sites in Bengaluru and the one at Uluberia , near Kolkata offer ideal conditions for supplying the markets in Southeast Asia and China with tools and turnkey solutions. That is why we will continue to invest in the future.”

Already CERATIZIT Bengaluru plays an important role in the international supply chain of the group and delivers finished and semi-finished tools to the CERATIZIT locations in Germany, Poland, Mexico and the USA. Although the focus is currently on growth in southeast Asia and China, the international role of the Indian locations might also be expanded in the future, explains Thierry Wolter: “Our employees in India are doing an excellent job. If we maintain our current course, CERATIZIT India will be able to play an even more important role beyond Asia in the future”.
