Elgi Sauer Compressors, a joint venture between Elgi Equipments and German-based Sauer Compressors Group started in 2008, has expanded its operations in Coimbatore by opening a new manufacturing facility at Kallapalayam.
With an investment of approximately ₹40 crore, the 50,000 sq ft facility was inaugurated to manufacture high pressure compressors, pressure reducing stations and portable breathing air compressors for the industrial, commercial shipping, naval and offshore markets in India. The facility will also house an engineering support center, which will provide engineering support to Sauer Compressors Group around the world for new product development and prototype testing.
Satish Kini, CEO, Elgi Sauer Compressors, said, “This factory with expanded manufacturing capacity will help us further strengthen the engineering, indigenization and product support capabilities of both the component entities and build a strong aftermarket network.”
According to Jairam Varadaraj, Managing Director of Algi Equipments, the facility is well positioned to serve new markets and achieve long-term business goals.
