German crane manufacturer, Demag Cranes has inaugurated its new production
plant in Chakan, near Pune in Maharashtra. The facility, built in eight
months at a cost of 8 million euro, has a capacity of constructing 600
standard cranes and 100 process cranes per annum.
The product range in future will also include the technically more complex
Process Cranes which are specifically integrated into the production process
to meet the customer’s individual needs. Parts for the KBK crane
construction kit are also manufactured – up to 24 kilometres of KBK rails
can be produced per annum. The spare parts logistics operation has also
already been running from Chakan since March; the production of components
such as rope-hoist & open-winch crabs as well as KBK has commenced. For
components which the company does not manufacture, the company sources from
a network of local suppliers.
Demag Cranes Group has been operational in India since 1997. It has more
than 600 customers in the country for all three of its business segments –
Industrial Cranes, Services and Port Technology.
