PUNE:
Nord
DriveSystems announced the expansion of its current facility at Hinjewadi,
Pune. Vikram Kumar (IAS) Metropolitan Commissioner, PMRDA inaugurated this
new facility. Also present at the occasion were Jutta Humbert, Managing
Partner, Nord Drivesystems Group, P L Muthusekkar, MD, Nord Drivesystems Pvt.
Ltd amongst other dignitaries.
As of today Nord Drivesystems India’s manufacturing facility
has an installed capacity of 42000 Geared motors per annum plus a 22000
Electrical Motor Assembly with a utilization factor between
75 to 80%.
These requirements are served through two of our Nord production plans, one in
Hinjewadi MIDC Phase II started in Nov 2007 and the second facility in
Hinjewadi MIDC phase I which was established in the year Oct 2017. Considering
the consistently growing Indian market and Nord India consolidating its
presence further, the management has taken a decision to further increase its
production capacity especially for the large gearboxes & IGU (Industrial
Gearbox Units).
The newly acquired plant expansion is just adjacent to our
existing Nord Drivesystems plant with a connecting road in between. It is
spread on an area measuring 7211 sq.mtrs whilst the building area is
3213sq.mtrs. This will be Nord India’s third facility in row. Nord India plans
to use this new available space for the production of the large gearbox
assemblies whose demand is continuously increasing in the domestic market. It
will also accommodate a bigger warehouse to support the proposed large gearbox
production, making way for more production space in the existing building for
medium size geared motors.
Last year Nord India Motor production facility had also
got approved by BIS, Quality governing body under Govt. of India for ISI marked
Motor production which recently has being enhanced further to include all Motor
ranges upto 55 KW ratings.
Further with time, Nord India plans to include new Gearbox variants into its production portfolio like Industrial Gearbox Units (IGU) production along with specialized paint shop facility. With full commissioning of this new facility, Nord India would be covering almost 90% of the offered Nord catalogue products locally from Pune for the domestic market as well as SAARC countries. Growing at about 20% CAGR for last 8 years and making in India & making in Maharashtra for last 14 years.
