Philips Machine Tools Inaugurates Mega Facility in Pune
Philips Machine Tools has officially inaugurated its new mega facility in Pune. This state-of-the-art plant is set to become one of the largest and most advanced manufacturing hubs in the country, reinforcing India’s position as a global industrial powerhouse and supporting the government’s ambitious Make in India initiative.
The new facility, spanning over 250,000 square feet, is equipped with cutting-edge technology for the production, assembly, and testing of advanced machine tools and automation solutions. It will serve as a central hub for Philips Machine Tools’ operations in India and South Asia, supporting a wide range of industries including automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical devices, and general engineering.
The inauguration of this mega facility aligns with India’s growing focus on self-reliance in manufacturing and technology. By localizing production and integrating advanced automation, Philips Machine Tools aims to reduce import dependence and foster indigenous innovation.
The facility is expected to generate over 1,000 direct and indirect jobs, offering opportunities for engineers, technicians, and support staff. Onsite training centers will collaborate with local educational institutions to bridge the skill gap in advanced manufacturing technologies. With enhanced capacity, the plant will serve both domestic and international markets, boosting India’s exports of high-precision machine tools.
The Pune facility will play a pivotal role in advancing the Make in India mission by manufacturing high-value components and systems locally. The integration of smart manufacturing technologies, such as real-time data analytics, predictive maintenance, and digital twins, will help Indian manufacturers improve productivity, quality, and global competitiveness.
Philips Machine Tools has incorporated several green initiatives in the new facility, including solar power generation, rainwater harvesting, and waste recycling systems. The company has also pledged to support local communities through education and healthcare initiatives, reinforcing its commitment to inclusive growth.
