MANN+HUMMEL, a specialist in filtration technology, is boosting its investment in India with a new global Technology and Innovation Centre in Tumakuru, Karnataka. This move signals the company's expectation of double-digit growth across various sectors in India and solidifies the country's position in its international research and development plans.
Sudeesh Karimbingal, Managing Director of MANN+HUMMEL India, announced plans to expand the company's headcount over the next three to four years. This expansion is driven by the need to create filtration and mobility solutions specifically adapted for Indian conditions and to meet the demand for rapid product introductions in the local market.
India's Growing Role in Global Innovation
Hasmeet Kaur, President of the Transportation Division at the MANN+HUMMEL group, emphasized the new facility's importance. She stated that India is becoming increasingly prominent within the group's global innovation network. The new center will focus on developing tailored solutions and will collaborate closely with local clients.
MANN+HUMMEL already operates manufacturing facilities in Bawal and Tumakuru, and has another facility under construction in Pune. The company noted that India's industrial expansion and efficient execution capabilities are advantages compared to many Western markets, making it an attractive location for manufacturing and advanced engineering.
