Founded in 1923 by Claude Knuepfer, DuPage Machine Products (DMP) has thrived for over a century…
Zimmer Group is set to inaugurate its latest production facility in Kikvi, near Pune, India, on April 16, 2024, signaling a significant stride in the company’s global expansion efforts and ongoing development.
The establishment of the Indian subsidiary back in 2017 in Pune laid the groundwork for Zimmer Group’s commitment to the region, with the new plant serving as a pivotal element in its internationalization strategy. According to Achim Gauss, Managing Director of Zimmer Group GmbH, the expansion plans for the Indian subsidiary are clear and ambitious, with the new facility representing a crucial milestone.
The Engineering Center, established in 2019, bolstered the company’s presence, offering specialized expertise in mechanical and software engineering, as well as PLC programming. Following this success, the decision to construct a dedicated manufacturing plant in India was a natural progression to better cater to the needs of customers not only in India but also across Asia.
Spanning 17,000 square feet of production space and an additional 10,000 square feet of office space, the new plant boasts a contemporary infrastructure designed with a strong focus on environmental sustainability. Features such as solar energy utilization, recycling systems, and reduced paper consumption underscore Zimmer Group’s commitment to eco-friendly practices while ensuring future scalability.
Equipped with cutting-edge facilities including a quality control room, a comprehensive training and demonstration area, and a design studio, the plant is poised to foster seamless collaboration with Zimmer Group’s German headquarters. The local team, trained to the highest standards, embodies Zimmer Group’s dedication to excellence and innovation.
This global expansion not only opens doors to new international markets but also reinforces Zimmer Group’s commitment to providing swift and efficient support to local customers. With a workforce of over 1,300 employees across 17 locations worldwide, Zimmer Group is well-positioned to harness global synergies and achieve sustainable growth.
