HARTING maintains success story in India
“Back then, it was just a small sales office with the employees initially looking after the sales and marketing of our products”, CEO Philip Harting recalls in his words of welcome to staff and guests. “Today, we produce for our customers in India in a facility measuring 3,000 m2.” The opening of the sales office was followed by rapid growth – especially in the important markets for mechanical engineering, systems engineering, power generation and transportation. The company therefore steadily expanded its capacity there.
The new production facility is designed to meet demand for HARTING products and solutions in India while at the same time ensuring proximity to customers in the Asian region. The new plant is built for efficient processes operating at the fullest possible capacity.
Andreas Conrad, Management Board member responsible for Operations in the HARTING technology group adds: “In taking these steps, we are creating long-term prospects – not just for our national company in India or our global technology group but also for the future of generations to come. Because also at the planning stage, we made sure to position ourselves with a view to what’s coming down the track and to put the reduction of our carbon footprint squarely front and centre – in other words, to take care of our CO2 emissions. The new production building meets all the latest standards and is totally focused on energy efficiency.”
The HARTING Technology Group is one of the world’s leading providers of industrial connection technology for the three lifelines of Data, Signal and Power and has 14 production plants and branches in 44 countries. Moreover, the company also produces retail checkout systems, electromagnetic actuators for automotive and industrial series use, charging equipment for electric vehicles, as well as hardware and software for customers and applications in automation technology, mechanical and plant engineering, robotics and transportation engineering. In the 2020/21 business year, some 6,200 employees generated sales of EUR 869 million.
