Wittmann Battenfeld India celebrates anniversary in new premises

This year, Wittmann Battenfeld India Pvt. Ltd. is celebrating its 5-year anniversary. The Indian subsidiary of the Wittmann Group – that is acting fully independently – is constantly presenting the technologically most advanced products. Due to its extensive automation know-how, Wittmann Battenfeld India became the Indian market leader for automation systems. To meet the growing demand of the Indian plastics industry, Wittmann Battenfeld India now has moved into the new Chennai premises.

Since its formal incorporation in December 2006, Wittmann India has renamed itself Wittmann Battenfeld India Pvt. Ltd. after only one and a half year to better reflect the broadened sales and service support after Wittmann’s acquisition of Battenfeld in April 2008. Since its founding, the Indian company has enjoyed uninterrupted growth. This is not only reflected in its market share, but also in the growth of its team, which has now has surpassed 35 employees. This guarantees excellent coverage of all plastics processing centers located in India.

Today, Wittmann Battenfeld India is independently developing customized automation solutions, and is the leader in development of linear robots. Another leadership role for Wittmann Battenfeld India was earned in the field of powder injection molding with specially adapted injection molding machines of the Battenfeld HM series.

A challenging and dynamic market

The Managing Director of Wittmann Battenfeld India, Nanda Kumar, points out: “The Indian plastics processors are innovative, dynamic and demanding; they require technological leadership, together with outstanding service and short response times. Starting the day Wittmann Battenfeld India came into existence, it was our goal to be an all around reliable partner to our customers. We are proud to have achieved exactly this within a demanding and sometimes difficult environment, and of course we are trying to further develop our market position by promoting the other products in our extensive portfolio. The Indian plastics market has grown consistently over the last years by double digit figures, and we have been able to grow at an even greater rate.”

Nanda Kumar sees a lot of potential for further growth in robots and automation, but also in the field of central drying and conveying systems with the corresponding Wittmann M7.2 control. He is also confident that the EcoPower injection molding machines, as well as the automation of blow molding machines, will make a strong impact on the Indian market.
