Eaton to Set Up First Aerospace Manufacturing Facility at Aerospace SEZ in Bangalore



Power management company Eaton held its ground breaking ceremony at the KIADB Aerospace SEZ, near Devanahalli in Bangalore, to build its first Aerospace manufacturing facility in India.  

“India has an untapped potential to fuel our Aerospace business’s market growth in the APAC region,” said Nitin Chalke, president, Vehicle and Hydraulics, APAC, Eaton. “The upcoming site reinforces Eaton’s continued commitment to India. Our customers are investing heavily here and Eaton sees the opening of an Aerospace manufacturing site in India as an opportunity to help us grow our share of new OE business as well as contribute to local growth in India.”

Eaton’s new site in Bangalore will manufacture standard hose assemblies and serve commercial, business and regional aircraft customers. The site will provide significant opportunity to win new business on military platforms as part of India’s offset policy. The product manufactured at the site will also provide customers with a dual source for Eaton’s oil debris monitoring systems.

The facility, to be built over 2.75 acres of land at the KIADB Aerospace SEZ, will be operational in the second half of 2019. The site will leverage smart manufacturing technologies, and contribute to local growth through employment, business and sourcing opportunities.
