MANUFACTURING TECH CENTRES BRING the concept of industry-academia collaboration into a reality. More often than not, they are R&D centres that sometimes also double up as proof of concept centres. Very often, the day to day workings of such centres are managed by a team of faculty members or quality and R&D heads. Considering that products are getting more complex, it is in the benefit of companies to encourage tech centres that allows customers to grasp the nuances of the product and also suggest changes that the company could incorporate to make it better.

In the recent past, many MNCs have announced their decision to make India the hub for technology centres. This is not surprising considering the rising number if engineers and lower costs.

Companies are required to regularly upgrade tech centres with novel technologies and innovations. Speaking about the India technology centre, Manish Singhal, business director, general manufacturing & maintenance India, Henkel Adhesives Technologies India, says, “Our India technology centre has become a one stop solution for our strong customer base in South Asia, Middle East, and Africa. Located in one of the largest industrial and automotive hubs, our Pune innovation centre is the company’s first research lab in India and the largest in the region. It has strengthened our footprint in India and facilitated our customers’ exposure to global innovation and practices.” Spread across 27,000 sq-ft, the state-of-the art facility is equipped with dispensing systems, component testing facilities, application training, product development and engineering facilities, thereby, ensuring best-in-class adhesive solutions to customers.
