Nord Drivesystems announced the expansion of its current facility at Hinjewadi, Pune on November 21, 2019. The inauguration was done by Vikram Kumar (IAS) Metropolitan Commissioner, PMRDA. Also present at the occasion were Jutta Humbert, Managing Partner, Nord Drivesystems Group, PL Muthusekkar, MD, Nord Drivesystems, Pvt Ltd amongst other dignitaries.

Nord Drivesystems India’s manufacturing facility has an installed capacity of 42,000 Geared motors per annum plus a 22,000 Electrical Motor Assembly with a utilization factor between 75-80 per cent. These requirements are served through two of our Nord production plans, one in Hinjewadi MIDC Phase II started in November 2007 and the second facility in Hinjewadi MIDC phase I which was established in October 2017. Considering the consistently growing Indian market and Nord India consolidating its presence further, the management has taken a decision to further increase its production capacity especially for the large gearboxes & IGU (Industrial Gearbox Units).

The newly acquired plant expansion is just adjacent to existing Nord Drivesystems plant with a connecting road in between. It is spread on an area measuring 7211sq.mtrs whilst the building area is 3213sq.mtrs.

This will be Nord India’s third facility in a row. Nord India plans to use this new available space for the production of the large gearbox assemblies whose demand is continuously increasing in the domestic market. It will also accommodate a bigger warehouse to support the proposed large gearbox production, making way for more production space in the existing building for medium size geared motors.
