Husky breaks ground for new facility in Chennai

Husky Injection Molding Systems is investing in a new facility in Chennai, India. Once complete, the new 3,300 square metre facility will have sales, customer support, manufacturing and sourcing teams. The location will also support Husky's growing hot runner business in the region by providing local hot runner and mould refurbishing to reduce lead times. Husky has established strong relationships in India since entering the market in 1999. In 2001, an office was opened in Mumbai to serve local customers, which led to an expanded customer base and increased business in the region. The Chennai facility, which is expected to be operational within one year, marks an important step in Husky's ongoing investment in India and will allow the company to better serve customers in this and other growing regions. Husky builds longstanding relationships with customers worldwide and has made a number of recent investments to do so. These include the opening of a larger technical centre in Yokohama, Japan, expansion of the technical centre in Shanghai, China and the establishment of a new PET and hot runner refurbishing centre in Moscow, Russia.(the end) www.husky.caNike
