Penn Elcom opens Mumbai distribution hub
- Details
It will be based in the Vasai area and headed by Rodney D’Monte.
Penn Elcom chairman Roger Willems says: “Mumbai is a major commercial and cultural hub and a great strategic location with a very positive future and we enjoy its vibrancy and energy. That’s exactly where we want to be.”
The opening of this distribution hub follows other recent major investments in Penn Elcom’s global manufacturing and sales network in Canada, the UK and China.
The Indian operation will first focus on the racking and hardware elements of Penn’s business, and will also manufacture and distribute products utilising brands such as Amphenol cables and Neutrik connectors.
It will also source its basic hardware from the Chinese operation and the two manufacturing bases in the UK.
“It’s a long-term investment with a lot of work and detail involved in setting up the infrastructure, but all signs are that India will become another star performer,” concludes Roger.
