BEUMER Group inaugurates new manufacturing facility in India

The grand opening ceremony on 12 December 2025 marks a major strategic expansion for the family-owned company in India. The high-tech plant – a INR 2 billion investment – is set to significantly enhance BEUMER’s global production capabilities and long-term presence in the region. BEUMER is proud to be the first German company in MET City, an emerging industrial smart city development, underscoring the group’s commitment to India’s growth story.

The newly inaugurated facility occupies a land parcel of 42 508 square metres (over 10 acres) with a built-up manufacturing area of 22 285 square metres. Construction was completed in a remarkably short span of around 15 months – from the project’s foundation stone laying in June 2024 to the start of operations in December 2025. This swift execution was made possible by MET City’s robust infrastructure and support, enabling BEUMER to quickly bring the vision to reality. The new factory will integrate seamlessly into BEUMER’s global manufacturing network, allowing the company to serve customers worldwide more efficiently from India. "This expansion reflects BEUMER Group’s strategic focus and commitment to long-term success in India. The new production site plays an important part in our global factory footprint, strengthening our position as a quality leader and partner of choice for our customers," said Rudolf Hausladen, CEO of BEUMER Group. Hausladen emphasised that the investment in MET City is a key milestone for the company, enabling BEUMER to better serve its customers with local expertise while upholding the highest standards of quality and innovation.

Two decades of growth for BEUMER India

The opening of the Jhajjar facility comes as the culmination of BEUMER India’s impressive growth journey since its establishment in 2003. What began as a modest two-person office in Mumbai has evolved into a dynamic organisation with over 400 full-time employees and an annual business volume of €150 million. Over the past two decades, BEUMER India steadily expanded its capabilities across all of BEUMER Group’s business segments. Key milestones included the acquisition of ENEXCO Technologies India (strengthening its cement industry solutions) and FAM India (enhancing offerings in minerals/mining), as well as the launch of a modern manufacturing unit in Naurangpur, Haryana. In 2023, BEUMER India inaugurated a new head office in Gurugram, reflecting its growing footprint. The state-of-the-art Jhajjar plant now adds significant manufacturing capacity, positioning BEUMER India to meet increasing demand and reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to the Indian market.

Sustainable and future-ready manufacturing

Sustainability and innovation are at the heart of the new facility’s design and operations. BEUMER Group has built the Jhajjar plant to meet best-in-class global standards, aiming for certification by the Indian Green Building Certification (IGBC) – equivalent to the internationally recognised USGBC LEED standard, aligning with national and global ESG goals. The facility is engineered to minimise its environmental impact: it is expected to achieve 20 – 30% savings in energy consumption and 30 – 50% savings in water usage compared to conventional industrial buildings. To reach these goals, the site will incorporate renewable energy sources for its power needs.

Expanded production capabilities to serve global markets

The new Reliance MET City facility broadens BEUMER’s production capabilities, enabling the company to locally manufacture equipment for all of its major business segments. The plant will produce airport baggage handling systems, logistics conveying and sorting equipment, cement packing and loading machinery, and components for mineral and mining machines. By manufacturing these products in India, BEUMER can better serve local customers with shorter lead times and also support global projects with additional production capacity.
