HellermannTyton India, a subsidiary of the UK-based cable management and connectivity solutions manufacturer HellermannTyton Group, has inaugurated a new injection moulding manufacturing facility in Oragadam, Chennai. The plant, which marks the company’s 19th global manufacturing site, was completed in less than a year since breaking ground in October 2024 and officially commenced operations on 10 November 2025.
The new facility is designed to strengthen HellermannTyton’s manufacturing footprint in the Asia-Pacific region, enabling closer proximity to key automotive and electrical customers. The plant features advanced injection moulding capabilities, digital-first production systems, and scalable operations to meet growing regional demand. The company has installed several SE220EV-S-HD injection moulding machines from Sumitomo Heavy Industries Demag, enhancing its capacity for precision component production and manufacturing efficiency.
“From blueprint to reality in under a year, our new factory showcases the dedication and capability of our team. We are proud to contribute to HellermannTyton’s global network and excited to support the future of manufacturing in India, where we are creating 200 new jobs,” said Naveen Raj, Managing Director of HellermannTyton India.
“Opening this site in Chennai reinforces our focus on growing with our customers in the region. It gives us greater production capacity, shorter lead times, and closer proximity to key markets,” said Alasdair Abercrombie-Barnett, Regional President Asia-Pacific, HellermannTyton Group.
“A great step forward today for HellermannTyton Global as we officially open our newest manufacturing site in Chennai, India, demonstrating our strategic commitment to supporting our customers in this important country,” said Andrew Leyland, Group President, HellermannTyton Group.
According to the company’s board report for the financial year ended 31 March 2024, revenue from operations increased 22.63 percent year-on-year, driven by continued demand from the automotive and electrical sectors. Capital expenditure during the year focused on capacity expansion and preparation for the Oragadam manufacturing project, with investments in injection moulding systems and digital process platforms. The company also reported compliance with its corporate social responsibility obligations, with INR 1.88 million spent on approved projects. In the previous year, HellermannTyton India recorded revenue of INR 734.09 million and a net profit after tax of INR 216.9 million, reflecting 56.9 percent growth from the preceding period. The company retained its earnings to fund expansion activities, particularly in anticipation of new manufacturing operations.
