Husky Injection Molding Systems, a leading industrial technology provider to the plastics processing community, today announced that it will exhibit at Plastindia 2018 (February 7-12, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India). At the show Husky will feature how its diverse range of solutions for the beverage, food, medical, automotive, home and personal care markets help customers to achieve optimized productivity while producing the highest quality parts at the lowest cost.
Husky has built strong relationships and experienced fast growth since entering the market in India. Husky first established a presence in Delhi and Mumbai to serve local customers, which led to an expanded customer base and increased business in the region. With the tooling market growing in India and per capita use of plastic products on the rise, Husky further expanded in 2012 with the opening of a 5,000 square meter manufacturing facility in Chennai. More recently, to deliver the lowest possible time-to-market to customers, Husky established local hot runner manufacturing, as well as a dedicated application and service team in Chennai. This marks an important step in Husky’s ongoing investment and has allowed the company to better serve customers locally, also supplying equipment to SAARC and Southeast Asia. To proactively support customers with an existing installed base, Husky also maintains a robust local parts inventory and team of highly skilled service technicians situated throughout the country to reach customers in the shortest amount of time possible.
“India is an important region for Husky. Our goal is to deeply understand this market’s local economy and unique needs so we can continuously provide customers with the right mix of products, services and support,” said Wassim Labban, Husky’s Vice President Beverage Packaging for EMEIA, SEA and ANZ. “We are excited to be returning to Plastindia as it will give us the opportunity to further connect with customers and demonstrate the range of solutions we offer to help them unlock growth.”
