Maag Opens First Sales and Service Center in India
Maag, a leading global manufacturer of gear pumps, pel-
letizing systems, filtration systems, and pulverizers, has an-
nounced the opening of its first sales and service center in
India which includes a world-class rotor sharpening workshop
for strand pelletizers. The opening of the new India service fa-
cility follows the recent expansion of Maag’s sales and service
center in Thailand.
The new rotor sharpening center in India will expand Maag’s
service footprint in Asia, which is one of the world’s fastest-
growing regions for plastics manufacturing and processing. It
is the eighth rotor sharpening workshop for Maag, expanding
the company’s capabilities beyond Brazil, China, Germany, Ma-
laysia, Taiwan, Thailand, and the U.S.
“This is a big step forward for Maag in Asia,” said Thomas Wil-
lemsen, vice president of business development for After Sales
and Service Centers. “We consider India as one of the most in-
teresting and fastest-growing markets and we decided to be
proactive in serving our customers and the industry in India.”
The new sharpening center in India, which opened August 1, is lo-
cated in Vadodara (Gujarat). Maag made a significant investment
in new state-of-the-art grinding equipment which makes the new
center the most modern facility in India, according toWillemsen. In
addition to high-quality grinding service for rotors, bed knifes and
die plates, Maag offers also short delivery times and service support
through its qualified service technician for its customers.
Maag’s rotor sharpening service can handle a broad range of stan-
dard rotors andbed knifeswhichareused inplastics pelletizing. The
1000 m2 production facility in Gujarat is large enough to accommo-
date future expansion plans, the company said. The India sales and
service center employs about 6 people at the moment.
