Endress+Hauser has expanded its company campus in Aurangabad, India. The two new buildings are home to several Endress+Hauser entities, including production facilities for flow measurement technology, temperature measurement technology, system products and liquid analysis. The inauguration ceremony took place in July 2024 in the presence of customers, partners, representatives from government authorities and the Swiss Embassy as well as employees.

“We are continuously investing in our production and working environments in order to meet the needs of our customers and employees,” says Dr Peter Selders, CEO of the Endress+Hauser Group. “The strategic expansion in India strengthens our global production network. The additional proximity to key markets such as Australia and Southeast Asia ensures best possible and timely service and support.”

With the expansion, Endress+Hauser is preparing for future business growth, further improving local employment opportunities and supporting the “Make in India” initiative. This aims to advance the country’s global competitiveness and promote local production of Swiss quality in India.

“Our continued investment in Aurangabad reflects our dedication to driving innovation and contributing to the local economy. We are excited to embark on this new chapter of growth. The expanded facilities will enable us to better serve our customers, create more job opportunities, and strengthen our presence in India,“ says Sanat Kumar Sahu, Managing Director of Endress+Hauser Flow in India.

New building for flow measurement technology

Endress+Hauser has invested over 12 million euros in a new building for flow measurement technology. With over 13,000 square meters in total, the space has been more than doubled. The premises accommodate production, offices, conference rooms, a customer experience center and a canteen. All walls, cladding and roofing are insulated and skylights offer improved lighting and energy efficiency, while an automatic sprinkler system ensures enhanced safety.

During construction in accordance with the silver requirements of the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), great importance was attached to the use of local materials. In addition, energy efficiency was a key concern of the construction which further emphasizes the sustainability of the project.

The new premises benefit from large glass fronts, which ensure an optimal supply of daylight. A rainwater collection system is used to provide service water, which significantly reduces water consumption. In addition, a solar power system on the roof with a capacity of 960 kilowatts is being installed to sustainably cover energy requirements.

Further new production facilities inaugurated

Another modern production building, which was designed for the manufacture of temperature measurement technology, system products and newly established liquid analyzers, has now also been officially inaugurated. Completion and occupation took place in summer 2023. The two-story building covers a total area of 5,400 square meters and represents an investment of around 4.4 million euros.

The ground floor houses new production areas for temperature measurement technology and system products as well as office space and a modern cafeteria. The first floor is dedicated to the production of liquid analysis technology and affiliated office space.

“The new building marks a significant achievement. The site has evolved into a crucial production hub for temperature measurement technology and system products. With the newly established production of liquid analyzers we are poised to meet the rising demand in dynamic markets, offering our high-quality products with short delivery times to customers across India and Southeast Asia,” says Rajendra Kolte, Managing Director, Endress+Hauser Temperature+System Products and Liquid Analysis in India.

Sustainability is also a key focus here. Equipped with a solar energy system that covers 80 percent of the electricity requirements, the building meets Endress+Hauser’s goal of becoming CO2-neutral in the long term. Special insulating glass reduces heat transfer and increases the building’s energy efficiency.

Continuous development in the region

Endress+Hauser has been represented in India since 1994 with the establishment of its own sales center. Five years later, the first product center was inaugurated: Endress+Hauser is therefore celebrating 25 years of flow measurement technology manufacturing in India this year. In 1999, the Aurangabad campus was established where today different Endress+Hauser entities produce measurement technology for flow, level, pressure and temperature, system products and liquid analysis.

The IT service provider Endress+Hauser InfoServe is also based on site, which has developed into an important location for the production of high-quality products for customers in India and South East Asia.

Commitment to training and skill development

Endress+Hauser sees training and people development as part of its social responsibility. There are also many initiatives such as comprehensive vocational training programs and welding training. These promote the economic growth of the region and the local labor force. Currently, there are working 350 people at the Endress+Hauser campus in Aurangabad.
