Following the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin in May 2023, OMRON Healthcare Manufacturing India, a subsidiary of OMRON Healthcare Corporation Japan, has begun the construction of its new plant in Chennai with a groundbreaking ceremony.
The ceremony was held with SMCC Construction India, the Indian subsidiary of Sumitomo Mitsui Construction Co., a Japanese general contractor supporting OMRON for the construction of the facility. The new manufacturing plant will commence operations by March 2025.
This state-of-the-art facility will mark OMRON’s debut into the healthcare manufacturing space in India, and will further strengthen its presence in the home healthcare device industry in the country, as well as its global network of production facilities with locations in Japan, China, Vietnam, Italy and Brazil.
