According to the company news release, the new factory will upgrade Sandvik’s production and meet the burgeoning demand for locally manufactured products in India. The Mehsana manufacturing facility has been successively expanded and modernised in recent years to increase the availability of high quality seamless stainless steel and high alloy tubes as well as to strengthen service in the region.

The first phase of this growth initiative was completed in 2020 when Sandvik added a new cold finishing tube manufacturing line for heat exchanger tubing and other demanding industrial applications. The investment this time around is divided into two parts and will be fully completed and operational by early 2023.

“We look forward to ramping up on our production to cater to the increasing demand for locally manufactured products in India, while aligning with the Government of India’s “Make in India” and “AtmaNirbhar Bharat” or “Self-Reliant” program. We also look forward to enabling further export and swifter delivery times to customers across the region,” said Sharath Satish, President, Business Unit Tube APAC, Sandvik.

Sandvik Mehsana is a high-tech tube mill situated in Gujarat, western India, that produces advanced corrosion-resistant tube, pipe and hollows for heat exchangers and process equipment across a wide range of industries.
