The globally active MAAG Group, headquartered in Oberglatt, Switzerland, will continue to position itself as a strong regional player in the Indian market: The Vadodara subsidiary specializes in localized machine and service offering.
With a growing number of customers in the polymer, chemical and petrochemical industries, India has developed into an important market for MAAG. Present through regional partners since 1980, the company has been underlining the strategic importance of the Indian market with its own branch in Vadodara in western India since 2016. It currently employs more than a dozen local specialists.
Localized product and service offering
As a provider of customer-specific systems and integrated solutions for the polymer industry, MAAG India focuses on localized products such as strand pelletizers. Customers in India thus benefit from machines that are precisely tailored to their regional requirements and at the same time meet the highest quality standards from German production.
This localized portfolio is complemented by a comprehensive on-site service: Native-speaking technicians from the MAAG team provide maintenance and consulting services throughout the country to ensure reliable and long-term use of the machines.
The world's largest service network in the polymer industry
MAAG also operates its own grinding center in India for cutting rotors on pelletizing systems. The site is therefore part of the world's largest service network in the polymer industry, which includes a total of eight grinding centers across the globe. MAAG passes on its manufacturing expertise to local specialists. Equipped with state of the art machinery, MAAG India specialists are able to provide a quick, reliable and professional grinding service for cutting rotors, including those from other manufacturers. The precision of the regrinding on the entire tooth profile ensures long-lasting granulation results and optimized cutting rotor lifetime.
Hub for international companies
Vadodara, located about 400 km from Mumbai, has become an attractive hub for international companies in recent years and a first choice location for MAAG India. The city has a population of around 2.1 million and is centrally located in the state of Gujarat. A location which enables MAAG to be close to its customers as many companies from the polymer and compounding industry are also established nearby.
