APW President Systems has announced the expansion of its manufacturing unit at Attibele, Bangalore with the addition of a 45,000 sq feet plot. Construction of the new plating facility and factory premises will be completed by September 2009.
“We already enjoy a leadership position in enclosure systems, and with the addition of this new plating facility at Attibele, we have enhanced our manufacturing capacity in India significantly. While the media is awash with talk of recession, lay-offs, frozen credit lines and falling profits, our company has continued its silent but confident march towards accomplishing its immediate expansion plans,” said E A Elias, Managing Director, APW President Systems.

The Bangalore plant furnished with the latest machinery for sheet metal manufacturing includes robotic welding, turret punching and automated sheet bending machines. Other facilities include a hot phosphate pre-treatment line, wet-paint and powder-coating paint shops, chemical evaluation laboratory, CNC controlled machinery, extensive storage, assembly and shipping areas, an effluent treatment plant and a water treatment plant. |
