Post signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin in the month of May 2023, Omron Healthcare Manufacturing India (a subsidiary of Omron Healthcare Corporation Japan) has begun the construction of its new plant in Chennai with a groundbreaking ceremony.

The ceremony was held with SMCC Construction India -the Indian subsidiary of Sumitomo Mitsui Construction Co., a leading Japanese general contractor supporting Omron for the construction of the facility.

This state-of-the-art facility will mark the company’s debut in the healthcare manufacturing space in India and will further strengthen its presence in the home healthcare device industry in the country as well as its global network of production facilities with locations in Japan, China, Vietnam, Italy and Brazil.

“The new manufacturing plant will house advanced machinery and cutting-edge technologies to ensure efficient and precise production processes,” says Takuto Iwanaka, Director, Omron Healthcare Manufacturing India Limited.

He further added, "The new manufacturing plant will not only generate employment opportunities and will also contribute to the overall economic development of the region.”
