ZF to set up transmission manufacturing unit in Tamil Nadu

ZF’s new plant will be spread over 12,000 sq. mt. and will cater to domestic and export markets.

German automobile component maker ZF Group plans to set up a transmission and axle manufacturing facility at Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu.

ZF’s new plant will be spread over 12,000 sq. mt. and will cater to domestic and export markets. It will support the company’s main hub in Germany with the production capacity needed for future market growth.

Akash Passey, President of ZF Group India said, “This move makes us more agile in meeting customer expectations and enables our customers to get easy access to our world-leading technologies with local manufacturing competencies. The economic tailwinds of growing urbanisation and the key thrust on infrastructural growth makes ZF Group in India positive about the market and the opportunities here.”

While the ZF Group is well known for its transmissions, the company also manufactures hydraulic and electro-hydraulic braking systems for heavy-duty, off-highway, construction, mining and agricultural sectors.
