JBT Marel, a top player in food processing technology, has opened its new Global Production Centre in Pune, India. This move highlights the company’s strong push to deliver top-notch solutions right in the heart of the Indian and Asia-Pacific markets.
The ceremony took place at the JBT Marel India Pvt. Ltd. facility in Vivan Kohli Industrial Estate, along the Old Mumbai-Pune Highway in Naigaon, Taluka Maval, Vadgaon. Brian Deck, the CEO of JBT Marel, led the inauguration alongside key leaders like Augusto Rizzolo, Vice President and President of Regions and Integration; Bob Petri, Vice President and President of Meat and Prepared Foods; and Jack Martin, Vice President and Chief Supply Chain Officer.
Other notable attendees included Manuel Kaufmann, Senior Director for Dairy, Fruit, and Vegetables in the Asia-Pacific region; Per Friberg, Senior Director for Prepared Foods; Vikram Mulmule, Vice President for South Asia; and Shivendra Singh, Operations Manager for the South Asia Subcontinent.
This Global Production Centre aims to boost manufacturing power and highlight advanced techniques that tackle the rising need for efficient and eco-friendly food processing across the region.
Augusto Rizzolo shared his excitement during the event: “The Global Production Centre in India stands as a proud milestone for us. It strengthens our drive for innovation in food processing, brings our worldwide know-how closer to customers in South Asia, and sets India up as a vital center for cutting-edge solutions serving the broader Asia region.”
India’s food processing sector ranks among the world’s biggest, making up about 12% of the country’s manufacturing GDP and supporting over 8 million jobs.
