Precia Molen, world specialist in industrial and commercial weighing, continues to expand its international activities with the opening of a third plant in India, in Chennai (Madras), India's fourth largest city.
Located opposite the two existing plants, the new building was inaugurated on December 9 by members of parliament and the Indian government from the Tamilnadu region, and Lise Talbot Barré, Consul General of France in Pondicherry and Chennai. Anne-Marie Escharavil, President of the Group, and René Colombel, Chairman of the Management Board of Precia Molen France, followed the event remotely from their headquarters in Veyras.
The aim of this third site is to double Precia Molen's production capacity for the Indian, Middle Eastern and Asia-Pacific markets.
On the strength of its development in India since 1995, with over 60,000 completed projects and the opening of two manufacturing plants in 2015 and 2017, Precia Molen's Indian subsidiary, which now employs 130 people, has increased its sales eightfold since its takeover in 2008, particularly in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
According to the company, in just a few years Precia Molen India has become the market leader in industrial weighing in India, with numerous sites in the country, notably in Chennai, New Dehli, Mumbai, Baroda, Calcutta, Hyderabad, Bangalore (...) and numerous references in Indian and international industrial groups.
In addition to its local roots, which have recently been strengthened by the creation of numerous jobs to support the development of its activities, Precia Molen is also a socially responsible player in India. PM India's management and all its employees mobilized to help local populations following the floods which particularly affected the Tamil Nadu region a few months ago. More recently, PM India also provided invaluable assistance by financing the anti-Covid vaccination of Precia Molen employees, as well as those of other companies located in the same industrial zone.
In April 2021, during an exceptional solidarity operation in support of the Indian people, hard hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, PM India was keen to support the supply of medical equipment to sustainably strengthen the capacity of Indian hospitals during the pandemic crisis, as part of the action coordinated by the crisis and support center of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs and implemented by the French Embassy in India.
"We are proud to open our third production site in India to support the strong growth of our subsidiary. This new plant doubles our local production capacity and enables us to respond to the significant development of our commercial activity in India and for export to South-East Asia, the Middle East and Asia Pacific".comments René Colombel, Chairman of Precia Molen's Management Board.
