Danfoss Industries, the Indian arm of the Nordborg, Denmark-headquartered Danfoss, which makes a range of industrial products for heating, cooling and energy efficiency, is aiming to increase manufacturing localization to up to 50 percent by 2020.
Danfoss India president Ravichandran Purshothaman said the company manufactures 20 percent of its products locally while the rest are imported. “We have invested a lot in R&D in the last few years and will continue to further invest in innovation and technology so that we can manufacture products locally, which we can even export to other markets,” he added. Danfoss has three manufacturing units in India, with the largest in Chennai spread over 50 acres, which also houses four R&D labs, reports Money Control.
Purushothaman explained that to increase the company’s production capabilities, they will have to strengthen and double their supplier base. “There is huge scope for expanding in Maharashtra, Gujarat and southern states” he said.
