Briefly Kemppi launches production in India The opening ceremony of Kemppi’s Indian subsidiary was held in Chennai on 19 January 2011.

Kemppi Oy, a leading Finnish welding equipment and solution provider, has set up a production facility in Chennai, India, for the manufacture of devices intended for the local market. The opening ceremony of the new subsidiary and production facility took place on Wednesday 19 January 2011 in local Indian style. The new facility is Kemppi’s first production unit outside Finland.

The purpose of establishing a local subsidiary and production facility is to improve and strengthen Kemppi’s position in one of the most rapidly growing markets in the world. ‘We have had good cooperation with local distributors for many years, but local production is also necessary in order to further establish Kemppi in the Indian market’, says Anssi Rantasalo, the CEO of Kemppi. Staff from Kemppi’s Indian production facility have been in Finland for training, and during spring, the first ever machines to be manufactured at the Chennai factory saw daylight. They were HiArc M400i machines for MIG/MAG welding. By establishing a sales company and a production facility in India, Kemppi shows that it is seriously competing in this economic region with a huge market potential. The subsidiary enables local handling of sales, deliveries and service operations. Kemppi shows that it is seriously competing in this economic region with a huge market potential.
