German firm Multivac, one of the leading providers worldwide of packaging solutions for food, life science & healthcare products is investing on the Indian subcontinent.
In Ghiloth, some 120 kilometres from Delhi, a state-of-the-art building complex for sales and production, covering around 10,000 square metres of usable space, will emerge in the coming months on the RIICO Industrial Area. The investment amounts to 6.8 million euros and completion is planned for December 2022.
At the start around 100 staff will be employed at the site in the state of Rajasthan.
The production area with assembly of thermoforming packaging machines and traysealers, as well as the manufacture of dies and format sets, will cover around 5,000 square metres. A separate hall area is envisaged for stocking spare parts and consumable materials.
“We are building up not only local production capacity, but also developing this site as a hub for the South Asia region,” says Guido Spix, joint Group President of MULTIVAC.
The Indian sales company with its own showroom, as well as a Training & Application Center for packaging and bakery machines, will be located at the same site.
In addition to the new factory in India, MULTIVAC has a further 13 production sites in Germany, Austria, Spain, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Japan and the USA, as well as more than 80 sales and service companies worldwide.
