Senior Plc, a manufacturer of auto components, has opened a new 76,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Gurugram, India, replacing a smaller site that has now been closed. The new plant is part of the company’s strategy to increase production capacity and operational efficiency, particularly in response to growing global demand for its fluid conveyance and thermal management products such as Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) coolers and tubes.
The facility will operate alongside Senior India Private Limited’s existing plant in Gurugram. It includes advanced automation systems and incorporates sustainable manufacturing practices. The company stated that the expansion is intended to support increased demand in the land vehicle sector, including truck, off-highway, and high-end passenger vehicle platforms.
“This investment highlights Senior’s commitment to the long-term success of our customers, suppliers and employees in India. With the ease of doing business, critical infrastructure and access to a well-educated and qualified labour pool, India offers a business-friendly and cost competitive environment. We are delighted to announce the opening of this new facility which will further enhance our capabilities in India and specifically support the growth associated with our contract wins in the land vehicle sector. With the breadth of these new capabilities, the new facility will provide increased options for Senior’s customers as well as providing capacity to support future growth,” said Mike Sheppard, CEO of Senior Flexonics.
The opening ceremony was held on 17 April 2025 and was attended by company executives including Mike Sheppard and Shailender Dhawan, Managing Director and CEO of Senior India Private Limited, along with local officials.
