Nidec Leroy-Somer, a manufacturer of electromechanical components and systems, has completed the relocation of its manufacturing facility from Noida to Hubli, Karnataka. The move is intended to bring the company closer to industrial hubs and enhance its operational alignment with key ecosystems.
The new plant will handle the production and dispatch of a range of low voltage and high-efficiency motors. The company stated that the Hubli facility is designed as a modern manufacturing site for these products. The company also said that the first batch of products is ready to be dispatched from this facility.
