JBT Marel, a tech company serving the food and beverage industry, announced the opening of its global production center in Pune. Inaugurated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, the new location enables JBT Marel to further focus on innovation, sustainability and customer-centric growth.
The company helps its customers optimize food yield, improve food safety and quality and keep their systems running smoothly with proactive maintenance. JBT Marel’s offerings include design and manufacturing services, as well as technology maintenance across several food and beverage markets.
The new facility in Pune will help the company meet rising regional demand for its sustainable food solutions, and it will serve as an export base for the Asia region. Consumer demand for packaged and ready-to-eat food and government initiatives like Make in India and the Production Linked Incentive Scheme for Food Processing made Pune the ideal location for JBT Marel’s global production center.
“This facility not only brings global expertise closer to our customers in South Asia but also positions India as a key hub for advanced solutions that can serve the wider Asia region,” Augusto Rizzolo, JBT Marel’s EVP and president of regions and integration, said in a statement.
