The Bawal plant is being set up to cater to MANN+HUMMEL India’s customers in the Northern part of India who are currently serviced from the plant in Tumkur near Bangalore. Setting up the plant in Bawal would speed up delivery times and reduce transport costs. The new plant increases flexibility and improves response time, an important aspect in a dynamic market environment like India.
The Bawal plant will produce the company’s core products, which includes plastic air intake manifolds, air cleaner systems, cylinder head covers and crank case ventilation systems, washer reservoir systems, etc.
The major focus of the plant would be on components for the passenger cars and motorcycle segments, as well as the commercial vehicle and three-wheeler sectors.
The Bawal plant will incorporate environment-friendly technology and design, including for example a rain water collection and retaining system, energy-saving lighting, electrical interlock switch to save power, battery operated forklifts to avoid pollution on the shop floor and expansive green spaces and landscaping to enhance the green touch. In addition, the roof and walls of the entire plant will be insulated to prevent energy loss. Here too, the insulation material used is environment-friendly.
MANN+HUMMEL India already has a manufacturing facility in Tumkur, close to Bangalore which was set up in 2006.
Mr. Axel Grossmann, Managing Director of MANN+HUMMEL India, reiterates: “It is our goal to be first choice for our Indian customers and top supplier in our segments in Asia. The Indian economy is booming and the investments by local and foreign companies like MANN+HUMMEL will drive the country to a bright future, by 2018, we will increase our Asian sales share to 25 per cent, and India is one of our Asian key markets to reach this goal”.
