New Delhi: Tech major HP said that it has started manufacturing operations at contract electronics manufacturer Flex Ltd’s facility at Sriperumbudur near Chennai, Tamil Nadu. HP already has its own manufacturing plant in Pantnagar district of Uttarakhand since 2006 and said that the latest expansion is a part of the company’s “long-term commitment to the Indian market”.
The company has, however, not disclosed details about investment and capacity under the contract manufacturing arrangement with Flex.
“The plant will manufacture desktops and workstations that enable HP to meet current and future customer needs, while driving greater operational efficiency. Its geographical location provides it access to a nearby port and HP’s spare parts facility in Bengaluru,” the company statement in its statement.
This, in turn, enables the company to procure materials from other parts of India and from Asia more quickly and efficiently, it added.
