Southco, a provider of engineered access hardware, has announced the official opening of its expanded facility in Ranjangoan, Pune, India.

The 20,000 square foot expansion, which commenced in 2019, has tripled available office space and doubled the manufacturing space and distribution footprint, positioning Southco for future growth in the fastest growing market in the world.

After a decade of phenomenal performance in the Indian market, Southco India’s increased production capacity, coupled with continued investment in sales, engineering and marketing resources will allow Southco to better serve its local customers. Southco will continue to bring new manufacturing technologies to India and produce more parts locally to support the “Make in India” initiative of the Indian Government.

”The expansion of our operations footprint in India contributes to Southco’s strategy of driving global business growth” said Prakash T John, GM of Southco India. ”This is not only an opportunity to bring more jobs to the area, but it is a long-term commitment of Southco to deliver more value to our customers and meet the growing needs of the Indian market.”
