Azad Engineering Unveils New Lean Manufacturing Facility At Tunikibollaram
This manufacturing facility marks a major milestone for Azad Engineering.
Hyderabad:Hyderabad-based precision engineering player Azad Engineering inaugurated its lean manufacturing facility designed to meet capacity commitments to GE Vernova’s Steam Power Services business unit at Azad's centre of excellence and innovation centre in Tunikibollaram, Hyderabad.
This manufacturing facility marks a major milestone for Azad Engineering. The journey that began with a few machines in 2013 has now evolved into a manufacturing centre with focus on quality standards, intensive audits and assessments, and mastery of increasingly complex manufacturing techniques.
This new facility is a significant investment in expanding Azad’s manufacturing capabilities as part of its strategic focus on long-term partnerships with global OEMs across aerospace, defence, energy, and oil & gas sectors.
The groundbreaking for this facility happened last April. The facility employs over 180 skilled professionals. With ongoing activities, it is expected to add more professionals in future.
“The inauguration of this exclusive lean manufacturing facility marks a significant milestone in our journey with GE Vernova's Steam Power Services business unit that began in 2013. We are creating an ecosystem to produce approximately 1,00,000 blades per annum from this factory,” said Rakesh Chopdar, chairman and CEO, Azad Engineering.
