New Indian plant for Wilo

The multinational Wilo Group has opened a new plant in India. In Kesurdi in the west of the country, a sustainable and ultra-modern high-tech production complex has been built on a 94,000 square metre site. Here, the technology group manufactures premium pump systems for water management in India, the Middle East, Africa and South-east Asia.

Wilo now has 16 main production sites around the world. “We’re pleased to be able to further expand the global Wilo production network with this opening”, said Oliver Hermes, President & CEO of the Wilo Group. “With the new site, we meet India’s increasing importance in global trade. The expansion of production capacity in India is thus in line with the group’s global ‘region-for-region’ strategy.” With this strategy, Wilo aims to meet regional customer needs with products manufactured locally.

“In addition, we’re strengthening our presence in India as an attractive employer”, Hermes continued. Wilo is creating around 1,500 direct and indirect jobs with the opening.

The site combines sustainability and innovation. Wilo only used environmentally friendly prefabricated parts for construction. Complex energy management and water treatment systems significantly minimise the plant’s CO2 emissions.
