The company will begin producing a wider variety of core product portfolios for the grain milling, food, feed, and advanced materials industries
Swiss technology group Bühler celebrated its 30th anniversary of establishing its business in India by announcing the expansion of its manufacturing capabilities in the country.
In the coming months, Bühler India, with sales revenue of Rs 600 crore for the year 2021-22 and year-on-year growth of 10 per cent, will begin producing a wider variety of core product portfolios for the grain milling, food, feed, and advanced materials industries, addressing the demands of a flourishing domestic market and customers abroad.
The decision to expand investments in the country is another milestone in Bühler Group’s long and fruitful relationship with India. It is a journey that started 30 years ago when Bühler India was founded in Bengaluru in the presence of the then Swiss Ambassador to India and Bühler’s then CFO, Philipp Müller.
Over this time, Bühler India has become one of Bühler Group’s leading global technology centres with manufacturing infrastructure, research and development teams, application centres, and training facilities. Bühler India, which employes 600 people today, is manufacturing high-quality grain and food processing equipment for customers across the country and abroad. In future it will further expand its core product portfolio for the feed and advanced materials industries. Bühler India’s business has been growing by more than 10 per cent over the past three years.
In August 2022, Bühler India took a major step in expanding its local production by manufacturing Sortex colour sorters. This move enables the grains and food industries in the country to have easy access to this key technology, which contributes to food quality and safety. The company also provides retrofitting and refurbishing services for existing Sortex machines.
