In the Spotlight

Rösler GmbH is an international market leader in the production of surface finishing, shot blasting machines, painting systems and preservation lines as well as process technology for the rational surface finishing (deburring, descaling, sand removal, polishing, grinding�) of metals and other components. Besides the German plants in Untermerzbach and Bad Staffelstein, the Rösler Group has branches in Great Britain, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Romania, Russia, China, India, Brazil, South Africa and USA.

With a traditional Indian ceremony, the employees of Rösler India, together with Mr. Stephan Rösler -- majority shareholder and chairman - and Mr. Sandeep Gulati -- partner in this joint venture and managing director of Acton Finishing Ltd. UK - celebrated the official opening of the Rösler subsidiary in Pune in the Maharashtra district. This new manufacturing facility with attached office space in Pune represents a significant expansion of the Rösler operations in India, Rosler SurfaceTech Pvt Ltd in Bangalore. In the new premises with a manufacturing area under roof of 2,680 m2 (26,800 sqft), including a test lab and job shop as well as office space of 240 m2 (2,400 sqft), standard shot blast machines and rotary vibrators will be manufactured. The first pieces of equipment have already been produced. It is planned to exclusively utilize German equipment designs and adapt the manufacturing process to the Indian facility, including the search for local component suppliers. This is an important strategic step with the goals of successfully competing with Indian low cost equipment suppliers and gaining a dominant market position in India and South-East Asia. The Rösler quality combined with a cost-efficient production facility in Pune is an ideal springboard to successfully exploit the huge market potential in India and surrounding countries. Within the next few months, Rösler India will expand its staff to over 50 employees.
