Inteva Products Pune Manufacturing Plant
India’s Pune, Maharashtra
To address the growing demand in the domestic automotive sector, US-based Inteva Products LLC, a worldwide leader in automotive systems and components, announced plans on Friday to increase capacity at its Chakan factory in Pune. According to Inteva Products, this expansion would generate 100 new employment and is anticipated to need an expenditure of USD 3.3 million.
The plant’s manufacturing space will rise by 70% as a consequence of the extension, reaching 85,000 square feet (sq-ft). A further 26,000 square feet of office space will be built at the plant in addition to the increased manufacturing area. By installing new manufacturing lines for window regulators, latches, and window regulator motor assemblies, Inteva will be able to improve supply chain capabilities in India and better service its current clientele.

This action also demonstrates Inteva’s sustained investment in the area and reflects the company’s plan to assist India’s development as a major global centre for automobile production.
