The leading firm in the world specializing in industrial automation and digital transformation, Rockwell Automation (NYSE:ROK), said today that it would be opening a new manufacturing facility in Chennai, India. With room for future growth, the 98,000 square foot building will assist Rockwell in creating a more robust, flexible, and sustainable supply chain in the Asia Pacific area and globally.

India is the fifth largest and fastest-growing major economy in the world. The international economy will continue to be greatly impacted by the nation's economic policies, especially in the areas of trade, investment, and innovation. By increasing its production footprint and constructing a new facility in Chennai, Rockwell is making an investment in India. The plant will be situated in the same industrial park as the CUBIC manufacturing site owned by Rockwell, which will assist to optimize supply chain resilience and provide workers with more career prospects.

Rockwell Automation's Managing Director for India, Dilip Sawhney, stated, "We chose this location because we can create synergies with our existing CUBIC facility and increase agility and productivity in the region. We are eager to expand our manufacturing operations globally, establish a stronger foothold in India, and improve the prospects for industrial activities in this rapidly expanding market."

It is anticipated that the Chennai plant would employ around 230 people by the end of 2025 once it opens in the first part of the year.
