WEISS has more than 55 years of experience in automation systems especially in rotary indexing tables.

October 10, 2022 – Only two years after WEISS opened its Campus in Pune, the specialist for rotary indexing tables, linear transfer systems and handling solutions has expanded its on-site expertise with a Solution Factory, localised the assembly of its rotary indexing tables and established a Global Sourcing Centre.

In 2020, a year determined by the Corona pandemic, WEISS GmbH from Buchen, Germany, took an important step and opened its Campus in Pune, India. After only two years, WEISS Automation Solutions India Pvt Ltd has now established a solution factory, where components and subsystems that meet the needs of the local market will be designed and realised. The automation solutions satisfy the requirements of customers and sectors in the APAC region as well as users in China.

At the opening ceremony, Uwe Weiss, CEO of parent company WEISS, and Sanjeebit

Choudhury, Vice President Asia Pacific and CEO of WEISS India, welcomed numerous guests of honour. The two CEOs were particularly pleased to see VDMA representatives and Achim Fabig, General Consul of the Federal Republic of Germany, there.

WEISS has more than 55 years of experience in automation systems especially in rotary indexing tables. These were first designed to meet the requirements of the automotive industry but nowadays are installed in automation systems to a broad range of industries such as communication, life science, electronics, and consumer goods. The local experts collaborate closely with their colleagues in Buchen (Germany) in order to ensure the high quality standards of WEISS. In addition, they support customers in engineering as well as in commissioning of the WEISS components and solutions. 

In the long run WEISS plans to establish an academy for both employees and customers. The overall strategy is to connect experts in the field of automation from different industries to open a knowledge exchange platform not only for India but for the whole APAC region. To Sanjeebit Choudhury it is especially important to share the organisation’s knowledge to increase customer centricity and improve the company’s performance for customers.
