Group managing director Nigel Bond with the team at new factory
Domino Printing Sciences has opened a new factory in Manesar, India, dedicated to the manufacture of inks and printers for coding and marking, and located in a leading business hub in the Delhi-Mumbai industrial corridor.
Replacing the company’s existing two facilities 25 km apart, the new 4,050 square foot factory has been built to strict green building design specifications and will also house an integrated warehouse and billing centre.
The company said it is committed to growing its workforce in this region and is creating three new roles in the team, taking the total to 35 employees.
Taking three years to construct, the factory was officially opened by Nigel Bond, Domino’s group managing director. Observing local customs, a coconut was cracked at the opening ceremony to symbolise the Indian custom of bringing health and success.
‘I’m delighted to officially open our new India facility, which demonstrates Domino’s commitment to maintaining our market leader position,’ said Mr Bond. ‘The facility will have improved technologies and processes that will allow for a seamless approach, from manufacturing through to the final logistical stages.’
He concluded, ‘Environmental performance is a crucial part of Domino’s evolution, and by designing an environmentally sound factory, we can continue that process. As a result, our energy consumption will reduce dramatically, while our employees benefit from increased natural light and a cleaner environment.’
The facility is currently awaiting accreditation from the Indian Green Building Council.
