Precia Molen announces the opening of its third plant in Chennai, India

PRECIA MOLEN, the world leader in industrial and commercial weighing, continues to expand its international activities with the opening of a third plant in Chennai (Madras), India's fourth largest city.

Located opposite the two existing plants, the new building was inaugurated on December 9 by members of parliament and the Indian government from the Tamilnadu region, Lise Talbot Barré, Consul General of France in Pondicherry and Chennai. Anne-Marie Escharavil, President of the group, and René Colombel, Chairman of the Board of Precia Molen France, followed the event remotely from the headquarters in Veyras. The aim of this third site is to double Precia Molen's production capacity for the Indian, Middle Eastern and Asia Pacific markets.

Having developed in India since 1995 with more than 60,000 achievements and the opening of two manufacturing plants in 2015 and 2017, Precia Molen's Indian subsidiary, which now employs 130 people, has increased its sales eightfold since its acquisition in 2008, particularly in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

In just a few years, Precia Molen India has become the market leader in industrial weighing in India, with numerous locations in India, including Chennai, New Delhi, Mumbai, Baroda, Calcutta, Hyderabad, Bangalore, etc., as well as numerous references in Indian and international industrial groups.

In addition to its local roots, which have been strengthened recently by the creation of a number of jobs to support the development of its activities, Precia Molen is also a solidarity player in India. The management of PM India and all its employees have mobilized to help the local population following the floods that particularly affected the Tamil Nadu region a few months ago. More recently, PM INDIA has also provided valuable assistance by financing the Covid vaccination of Precia Molen employees, as well as employees of other companies located in the same industrial zone.

In April 2021, during an exceptional solidarity operation in support of the Indian people, severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, PM India was keen to support the supply of medical equipment in order to sustainably strengthen the capacities of Indian hospitals during the pandemic crisis, as part of the action coordinated by the crisis and support center of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs and implemented by the French Embassy in India.

"We are proud to open our third production site in India to support the strong growth of our subsidiary. This new plant allows us to double our local production capacity and to respond to the significant development of our commercial activity in India and in exports to South-East Asia, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific". Comments René Colombel, Chairman of the Board of PRECIA MOLEN.
