New location will support supply chain
resilience in Asia Pacific
Rockwell Automation (NYSE:ROK), the world’s largest company
dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation,
today announced plans to open a new manufacturing facility in
Chennai, India. The 98,000-square-foot facility—with space for
potential expansion—will help Rockwell build a more resilient,
agile, and sustainable supply chain in the Asia Pacific region and
around the globe.
India has the world’s fifth-biggest and fastest-growing large
economy. The country’s economic policies will continue to have a
significant impact on the global economy, particularly in the areas
of trade, investment, and innovation. Rockwell is investing in
India by expanding its manufacturing presence and building a new
factory in Chennai. The facility will be located in the same
industrial park as Rockwell’s CUBIC manufacturing facility to help
maximize supply chain resilience and create additional career
opportunities for employees.
“We selected this location because we can create synergies with
our existing CUBIC facility and increase agility and productivity
in the region,” said Dilip Sawhney, Managing Director - India,
Rockwell Automation. “We’re excited about building our presence in
India, optimizing our manufacturing on a global scale, and
enhancing the future of industrial operations in this growing
market.”
The facility in Chennai is expected to open in the first half of
2025 and will employ about 230 workers by the end of the year.
