In the year 2007, Schmersal India was incepted as a ‘Sales’ only organisation and to becoming the youngest production site of the Schmersal group, located at Ranjangaon, Pune, has written a real success story in the past 13 years. The state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, established in 2012 -2013, with the main goal to provide the global players of mechanical engineering with safety switches and safety systems for their local production sites and service units, Schmersal India Pvt. Ltd. has achieved a constant growth and currently employs a staff of 120 colleagues, producing several series of electro-mechanical safety switches for local use and for export.

Within the next few years, export activities shall be expanded in a large extent. The first step for this aim has been taken: Schmersal has just expanded the Export Oriented Unit (EOU) in its factory. The EOU scheme of the Indian government was established to promote export activities by granting a variety of (mostly tax-related) advantages. Schmersal India does already benefit from these advantages because in 2018, a first EOU was established – on a more or less humble basis.

Sandeep Sharma, Plant Head, ITC Pune, having two decades of corporate experience in Food Processing, Bulk Chemicals, Minerals Processing, graced the event by being the chief guest of honour for this ceremony.

Sagar Bhosale, Managing Director of Schmersal India narrated: “We started with a single production line in a confined area of 221 sqm, however, no later than one year we have added two more production lines.”
