NEUMAN & ESSER India inaugurated a new facility in Pune that will assemble compressors for the Indian market and export markets. The site will also assemble carbon dioxide (CO2) compressors and five megawatt proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers as part of the company’s equipment portfolio.
The facility will manufacture and package compressors and will operate alongside an existing service workshop at the Pune location. The workshop includes spare part production capabilities and equipment for cleaning and processing used parts.
The Pune facility is intended to support equipment supply and service activities in India while also supplying products for international markets. The site integrates compressor assembly with service and spare part operations at the same location.
