Celebrating 20 years of operations (to manufacture axles and transmission systems) in India, the Carraro Group has announced the laying of the foundation stone of a new production area at its Pune (Ranjangaon) plant. Measuring approximately 5000 sq. m., the new production area will be operational in 2021, and will manufacture portal axles for compact tractors with engines up to 75 hp. Catering to the automotive sector, including CVs, the Group, with the portal axles finding good traction, is building the new production area to include a warehouse and optimise the internal logistics. This is expected to further elevate customer satisfaction. At the forefront of single reduction rigid, steerable axles, and special on-highway axles (driven and nondriven), the Group has designed the new production area to up the overall efficiency of the operations. It has done so to considerably widen the scope of the Group’s operations in India. Catering to clients like CNH, Caterpillar, John Deere, Mahindra & Mahindra, Escorts, Same Deutz, Sonalika, Erkunt, Tata Hitachi, Manitou, and Bull Machines among others, India accounts for one of the few key markets outside Italy.
