New Delhi: Rockwell Automation, the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, Tuesday announced plans to open a new manufacturing facility in Chennai. The facility in Chennai, at Sholinganallur Elcot SEZ, is expected to open in the first half of 2025 and to employ about 230 people by the end of the year. The 98,000-square-foot facility — with space for potential expansion — will help Rockwell build a more resilient, agile, and sustainable supply chain in the Asia Pacific region and around the globe, the company said in a media release.
Rockwell is investing in India by expanding its manufacturing presence and building a new factory in Chennai. The facility will be located in the same industrial park as Rockwell’s CUBIC manufacturing facility to help maximize supply chain resilience and create additional career opportunities for employees.
“We selected this location because we can create synergies with our existing CUBIC facility and increase agility and productivity in the region,” said Dilip Sawhney, Managing Director – India, Rockwell Automation. “We’re excited about building our presence in India, optimizing our manufacturing on a global scale, and enhancing the future of industrial operations in this growing market,” he added.
