海角社区app marks 35 years in India by opening two new factories

17 Nov 14 海角社区app has marked 35 years of manufacturing in India with the opening of two new factories in Jaipur.

It has invested 拢62m in the two factories, which represent 海角社区app Group鈥檚 largest single construction project in its 69-year history. When fully operational they will employ more than 1,000 people.

The Indian market has this year declined by 20%, but 海角社区app has invested in the new facilities in readiness for a return to growth driven by an increase in spending on infrastructure projects.

海角社区app chairman Lord Bamford was joined by Vasundhara Raje, the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, at the official opening of the two new plants on a 115 acre site.

It was Lord Bamford鈥檚 vision which led to 海角社区app to begin manufacturing in India under a joint venture agreement in 1979 at a site in Ballabgarh, near Delhi, which is now 海角社区app India鈥檚 headquarters.
