New plant in India expands KHS' worldwide field of activities
KHS Maschinen- und Anlagenbau AG, international manufacturer of filling and packaging systems for the beverage, food, and non-food sectors, is expanding its worldwide field of activities.
Cornerstone ceremonies were recently held for a new plant in India. Modern new production facilities with a floor space of 25,000 square meters are being built in Ahmedabad on an area of 110,000 square meters. KHS has been participating in an Indo-German joint venture with KHS Machinery Pvt. since 1997 in which the Indian Mamata Group holds a 40-percent share. KHS Machinery Pvt. Ltd. is very clearly the market leader in the field of the filling and packaging technology for the beverage sector in the Indian market.
This new plant will increase the production capacity in India considerably. KHS will thus not only be taking the growth potential in this region into account but meeting the increased demand in other Asian markets as well. These markets will be supplied directly from India.
In his speech during the ceremonies, Mahendra N. Patel, Chairman of the Mamata Group and Managing Director of KHS Machinery Pvt. Ltd., praised the excellent cooperation between all those involved. "Our previous success is the result of our performance. We are on a rewarding journey, on a road that will continue on the basis of trust and respect."
Valentin Reisgen, Chief Executive Officer of KHS AG: "With the construction of the Ahmedabad plant, we are furthering our commitment in high-growth markets. Experts anticipate that this market will grow disproportionately within the coming years. We are now preparing for this development."
This investment in India will be the perfect complement to KHS' global presence. In addition to several plants in Germany, KHS currently maintains production sites in the U.S.A., Mexico, Brazil, and India. The more than sixty service and sales locations on all continents maintain the outstanding quality of local service at all times.
