✦ Synopsis
The plant at Pune, India will be manufacturing Helicoflex(R) spring-energized metal seals in a new production facility. The company is producing the seals for the local market, which includes the power generation, semiconductor and chemical processing industries. "Growing demand for our sealing products calls for a physical presence in India, one of the world's fastest-growing economies," said Harald Poppke, managing director of Garlock's operations in Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa. "The products we will be manufacturing there find extensive application in the power generation industry, particularly nuclear plants. India's demand for electrical energy is expected to more than double by the year 2030, making this a particularly promising market for us." Garlock will share the 1100m 2 plant with GGB, another company in the EnPro Group that produces metal-polymer plain bearings. The joint plant will operate under the auspices of EnPro India.
