Munters India has inaugurated its new manufacturing facility in Malur, Karnataka, marking a significant step in the company’s expansion efforts. The new facility is designed to enhance production capabilities and improve service delivery to local customers in India and the APAC region.
The Malur Unit 2 will play a key role in Munters’ integration journey, following its acquisition of Zeco Aircon Limited. The integration will allow Munters to combine its expertise in dehumidifiers with Zeco’s capabilities in air handling units (AHUs), providing complete solutions for customer needs. This move aligns with Munters’ strategy to improve operational efficiency and meet the growing demand for HVAC products in the region.
The company has implemented its MTO production system (MPS) across its facilities in India, including the Malur Unit 2. This system emphasizes single-piece flow to enhance productivity and efficiency, a concept that has been adopted in all of Munters’ production plants. The Malur facility is also expected to support the production of the next generation of Munters’ MX Cube units, which will be manufactured locally to meet customer requirements more effectively.
Rafid Al Janahi, Integration Head at Munters, noted that the new facility represents a critical milestone in the company’s integration process. He explained that the Malur Unit 2 is an integral part of Munters’ broader efforts to streamline operations and provide better customer service across its manufacturing network.
