After establishing itself in Thailand, Maag is continuing its eastward expansion by opening a new service facility in India.
The leading global manufacturer of gear pumps, pelletising systems, filtration systems and pulverising is opening its first centre in the country. The finished facility will include a world-class rotor sharpening workshop for strand pelletising.
The new rotor sharpening centre in India will expand Maag’s service footprint in fast-growing Asia. It is the eighth rotor sharpening workshop for Maag, expanding the company’s capabilities beyond Brazil, China, Germany, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, and the US.
"This is a big step forward for Maag in Asia," said Thomas Willemsen, Vice-President of business development for After Sales and Service Centers. :We consider India as one of the most interesting and fastest-growing markets and we decided to be proactive in serving our customers and the industry in India."

The new sharpening center in India, which opened on August 1st, is located in Vadodara (Gujarat). Maag made a significant investment in new state-of-the-art grinding equipment, which makes the new center the most modern facility in India, according to Willemsen. In addition to high-quality grinding service for rotors, bed knifes and die plates, Maag offers also short delivery times and service support through its qualified service technician for its customers.
Maag’s rotor sharpening service can handle a broad range of standard rotors and bed knifes which are used in plastics pelletising. The 1000 m2 production facility in Gujarat is large enough to accommodate future expansion plans, the company said. The India sales and service center employs half a dozen people at present.
