The new facility consolidates inserts manufacturing operations previously housed in multiple production units within the Bengaluru plant and incorporates intelligent manufacturing systems for improved quality, consistency and lead times—while also expanding Kennametal’s capabilities and capacity to support growing demand from the Asia Pacific market. The Company has also invested in training the workforce with the specific skillsets needed to leverage these advanced technologies to their fullest.

“Our manufacturing plant in Bengaluru spans over 27 acres and has been pivotal to our growth in India for decades.

And in keeping with our core values, we have also integrated best-in-class environmental, health and safety practices right from the planning stages to ensure safe and sustainable operations.”
