Maag hosted Open House at its India Service Center

Maag hosted an Open House on Nov. 24 at its new rotor-sharpening workshop and service center in the city of Vadodara (Gujarat), India, which is located 400 kilometers north of Mumbai. As Maag’s first workshop and service center in India, the facility helps Maag reinforce its reputation as a company that is committed to meeting the needs of its customer base around the globe. 

 

Also, this new presence in the rapidly expanding Asian plastics market means that Maag now has manufacturing or service/sales facilities in six Asian countries, with India joining China, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand, while Brazil, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, France and the United States are non-Asian countries that are home to Maag manufacturing or service operations.

 

The Open House was hosted by Ueli Thuerig, CEO of Maag, and Thomas Willemsen, Maag’s Vice President of Business Development, After Sales and Service Centres. Also in attendance were Dana Anand, General Manager of Dover India, and 70 visitors from various companies in India.

 

 

Mr. Thuerig said that Maag customers are keen to  learn more about the equipment and technologies offered by Maag and the event allowed the company to show its  customers in India the breadth of its  product offering, as well as how Maag can provide new parts, upgrades and modifications, all of which are designed to help customers optimize their operations and lower production costs. 

 

The attendees noted that the Maag workshop is fully equipped with a functioning rotor-grinding operation that includes the most modern sharpening equipment for strand pelletizers in India. The facility will also offer pump and pelletizer repair services and process support. Seven full-time employees currently work at the facility, all of whom have been trained at Maag’s operation in Germany, which allows them to produce the highest level of equipment quality and service for their customers. Also on display at the Open House were pump, pelletizer, pulverizer and screen-changer technologies from Maag and the recently acquired Gala and RE Scheer, the operations of which have been fully integrated into Maag.
