Fuji Electric India invests in new facility for Automation Solutions

By March 23, 2023 1:01 pm IST

The new manufacturing facility will help Fuji serve customers with the annual production capacity of 120K Drives & excess of 200k PCB’s. 
Fuji Electric India, a top industrial automation and energy-efficient solution provider and a part of the 100-year-old Fuji Electric, reached a major milestone in India, with the inauguration of its state-of-the-art and environment-friendly factory on March 15, 2023. Present during the inauguration ceremony at Fuji Electric India’s plant were Yosuke Ishizaka, MD; Shivaji Waghmare, CEO; Kentaro Yamaguchi, Head of Automation; B Karthik, Business Head – Automation Division from Fuji Electric India team. 

Shivaji Waghmare cited two major reasons for the expansion. “The first is to invest in latest manufacturing technology in close collaboration with our parent company in Japan to provide high-quality products. The second is to increase capacity ahead of market requirements to meet our customers’ growing demand,” he said. “This facility will remain a testimony to our relentless drive to improve all aspects of our operations and to maintain our status as one of the best in the industry,” he stressed. 
“The new facility is borne out of extensive interaction and participation of our executives. Some of the critical equipment have been imported from Japan to match the manufacturing processes between Fuji Electric India and Fuji Electric. We also improved the overall layout of the various functional areas of the factory to ensure a more efficient flow of materials, from receiving and storage to assembly, packaging and finally shipment,” said Yamaguchi.
