ATLAS Copco?s new plant at Chakan near Pune, has set a new benchmark in design and quality production practices. The Chakan plant is the new production facility for industrial compressors from 5 to 90 kW and portable compressors from 85 to 1,350 cfm.

Spread over 23 acre, the complex is 19,000 sq m and includes an administrative building, assembly workshop, finished goods storage and areas for R&D activities.

The factory was built in line with LEED best practices and has lately been certified by IGBC as a GOLD rated Green Factory Building. A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) was developed and implemented to secure on-time, in-full data management throughout the entire process.
