1 min read
Measurement and calibration specialist manufacturer Renishaw has opened its first dedicated demonstration and training centre for the Indian market at its main office in Pune.
The new 200 square metre facility houses CNC machine tools and co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) from local Indian manufacturers, which together with supporting seminar rooms, will allow Renishaw to meet the increasing need for training and support being generated by its expanding customer base within India.
Formally opening the new facility, Renishaw's assistant chief executive Ben Taylor said, "This investment marks a further chapter in Renishaw's ongoing commitment to the Indian market. We have been trading in India for more than 25 years, and in 2000 created Renishaw Metrology Private Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary based in Bangalore. Today, I am proud to see the contribution we are making to the growth of Indian manufacturing, assisting companies to raise quality standards and productivity levels."
Renishaw said the new demonstration and training centre would offer technical support to both OEM customers and end-users for its range of metrology products, including CMM probe systems, touch probes and laser tool setters for CNC machine tools, linear and rotary encoders for position feedback, calibration systems for machine performance analysis, and Raman spectroscopy systems for spectral analysis.
Within India, Renishaw has also set up a procurement operation to directly source high quality components from Indian vendors and a development team specialising in metrology software has also been formed.
Renishaw has operations in 30 countries, with total employee numbers now over 2,100. For the year-ended June 2007, worldwide sales totalled £180.9 million.
