PUNE: Global
automotive seating solutions provider Adient will invest USD 30 million to set
up a prototyping and testing facility in Pune.
The facility, the largest of its kind to come up in the
country, will be functional by late next year, Adient's vice-president for
engineering and chief technical officer Detlef Juersus said here. The
ground-breaking ceremony for the facility, which will come up in a 20,000
square metres area, took place, he said.
The upcoming facility will be in addition to the Irish
company's existing technical centre here, which employs around 150 engineers
and contributes majorly to Adient's global industrial design operations, he
said. "This investment of USD 30 million is an important milestone for us
as we optimise our engineering footprint around the world to deliver global
products and innovation capabilities wherever our customers are," Juersus
said.
With this new facility, Adient will be able to fully execute
product development, including design and product validation, for global and
local launch markets in Pune, all backed by cutting-edge infrastructure that
will be helpful to the domestic automotive industry, he said.
The Dublin-headquartered company sells one in three automotive seats in the world and works with all major automakers and vehicle classes.
