Eirich Group Germany opens new plant in Pune to make machinery and equipment both for India and worldwide

Eirich has been in the business of mixing and processing technology for over 160 years, the company said in a statement.

The new facility, a strategic addition to Eirich’s global footprint, will focus on manufacturing intensive mixers, associated plant equipment, and control systems for both India and worldwide exports, the company said in a media statement.

The Pune Plant is spread over a three-acre plot and is a significant milestone for Eirich India.

The Eirich group enjoys a strong market position worldwide for its unique mixing and processing technology in various industry segments such as metallurgy, refractories, ceramics, agrochemicals, foundry, battery, carbon products and many more.

With the production of the Chakan plant, Eirich India is poised to elevate its capacity and strengthen its position in these key segments.

"With the inauguration of the Chakan plant, the company has further consolidated its manufacturing capacity to serve our customers. This is a state-of-the-art plant with a brand new test center for our customers and will produce quality products that are benchmarked against the best in the world,” said Stephan Eirich, who is the fifth generation to head the family business.

Eirich India MD Sourav Sen said, "India is a focus market for Eirich. The Chakan plant, with its expanded capacity, will meet the growing demand for our products in all customer industries. New and higher capacity mixer models can now be produced in Chakan. Along with modern control systems and a growing number of digital solutions such as remote service and condition monitoring this will help Eirich India to serve customers with a wider option.”

In line with group strategy, Eirich India will also be able to supply to overseas markets with parts and complete machines through a strong network of Eirich Group companies in 11 countries, Sen said

“The new mixer models will support this strategy well as these models are well established in Germany, the rest of Europe, and other markets of Eirich. This will provide tremendous leverage for us to join Eirich’s global supply chain,” he stated.

The start of the Chakan plant coincides with Eirich India’s completion of 25 years in India.

“It’s a matter of great pride and privilege to stay committed to serving Indian customers with the world’s leading mixing and granulation technology for the last 25 years and continue to grow with local production of machines, associated plant and equipment over the years, true to Make in India spirit,” added Sen.
