Vacon opens subsidiary in Chennai, India

The Finland-based AC drives manufacturer Vacon strengthens its global presence by opening a subsidiary in Chennai on the southeast coast of India. With a subsidiary in one of India’s largest commercial and industrial centers, Vacon will further improve its service in the growing markets of the Asia-Pacific region.

“Local presence in India’s growing markets is essential for us, and many of our customers and cooperation partners find it necessary. India’s electricity consumption is one of the highest in the world, and therefore, the country offers a lot of market potential for us. We are eager to continue building the Vacon brand as well as our sales and distribution network, and to provide product support in a country where the benefits of AC drives are not yet very widely known,” says Heikki Hiltunen, Executive Vice President, Vacon.
