Expanding its operations, Centum Electronics has launched its fourth manufacturing facility in Bengaluru. With an investment of Rs 200 crore, over two years, the new facility was inaugurated by Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on February 15, 2017.
“The aerospace facility is the fourth manufacturing location we have built in India demonstrating our continued commitment to the government’s vision of ‘Make in India.’ Centum Electronics already has a significant presence in Bengaluru with three other facilities fully operational. The investment in the new manufacturing facility represents the potential available in the industry in India and abroad,” stated Apparao Mallavarapu, chairman and managing director, Centum Electronics.
Centum’s new facility, Avanza, will integrate factory testing, design, manufacturing, quality control and advanced manufacturing engineering for Centum’s defense automation business in India and abroad. The premise is located at the aerospace park near Devanahalli, Bengaluru.
