Highlighting India as a strategic market, ZF said the expansion aligns with its global strategy of staying close to customers while fostering innovation and growth in one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.
Germany’s ZF Group, an automotive supplier and technology company, expanded its presence in India with a manufacturing plant in Coimbatore catering to the construction and railways segment. This is the company’s 19th manufacturing plant in India and 11th site in Tamil Nadu. A release said it has invested 20 million euros (₹192 crore) to strengthen its commitment to localising technologies, products, and solutions for India’s mobility sector.
The plant will support ZF’s growth in India, supplying technology to domestic and global OEMs. To support the growing construction segment and OEM demand, the ERGOPOWER M transmission is also industrialised on this site. This automatic-powershift transmission has been optimised for all kinds of construction machinery applications and is considered a benchmark in the market for its performance and quality.
In the new manufacturing plant, ZF will also localise the production of its EcoMet transmission for the Indian railway market. For over a century, ZF has expanded its position as a supplier of railway technology and today has a portfolio that includes driveline and chassis solutions as well as digital offering -connect@rail.
“India is a strategic market for ZF Group, and we focus India for its engineering and manufacturing capabilities. This is led by its growing domestic market. This facility aligns with our global strategy of growth closer to customers and reaffirms ZF’s dedication to fostering innovation and growth in this pivotal market,” Peter Laier, Member of the ZF Group Board of Management, and Head – Commercial Vehicle Solutions and Industrial Technology, said in a statement.
