SEW-EURODRIVE India inaugurated its new Drive Technology Centre (DTC) in Chennai, one of South India’s fastest-growing industrial hubs. With this strategic move, the company significantly enhances its ability to serve customers across southern and eastern India. The facility is designed to deliver faster response times, improved reliability, and strong long-term support.
Built for Scale and Future Growth
Spread across 12.27 acres, the state-of-the-art facility features a 21,350-square-metre assembly and service unit. Not only does it provide the scale required for current operations, but it also offers the flexibility to accommodate evolving application needs and future expansion. As a result, SEW-EURODRIVE India is better positioned to support customer growth while maintaining operational efficiency.
Commitment to Sustainability and Engineering Excellence
The new DTC reflects the company’s focus on sustainable development and technology leadership. It seamlessly combines global engineering standards with strong local execution. Moreover, the facility complies with green building norms, incorporating natural daylight, solar power generation, and rainwater harvesting systems.
In addition, energy-efficient construction and advanced climate control systems help reduce shopfloor temperatures by up to 3°C. This not only ensures stable production conditions but also enhances product quality and creates a more comfortable working environment.
Advanced Manufacturing and Digital Readiness
At the heart of the facility lies a 15,000-square-metre assembly shop equipped with digitisation-ready, high-productivity assembly cells. These cells operate on a single-piece flow concept, enabling streamlined production and improved efficiency. Furthermore, the centre houses SEW-EURODRIVE India’s first semi-automated painting booth. This addition ensures consistent surface quality while increasing throughput, thereby enhancing overall manufacturing performance.
Driving Long-Term Industrial Partnerships
With the launch of this Drive Technology Centre, SEW-EURODRIVE India reinforces its position as a trusted industry partner. As per the press release, by investing in advanced infrastructure and future-ready capabilities, the company aims to support the long-term growth and transformation of India’s industrial sector.
