"We are extremely proud to have acquired the land in Pune to build an office, warehouse and operations building tailored to our needs.” - Norbert Pick, Executive Board Member for Marketing and Sales at STIHL
August 2022: The India-based STIHL sales subsidiary ANDREAS STIHL Pvt. Ltd has celebrated the opening of its new facility in Pune. As one of the fastest growing sales subsidiaries in the STIHL Group, the expansion marks a necessary step for STIHL India. Norbert Pick, Executive Board Member for Marketing and Sales at STIHL, attended the grand opening at Chakan Industrial Park.
Norbert Pick, Executive Board Member for Marketing and Sales, STIHL said, "We are extremely proud to have acquired the land in Pune to build an office, warehouse and operations building tailored to our needs. This investment reaffirms the commitment of STIHL to India, one of our key markets."
Parind Prabhudesai, Managing Director, STIHL India, added: "We are pleased to be part of this journey, as it underscores our commitment to growth in the Indian market. Along with our colleagues and partners, we are ready to push ahead with the revolution in farming equipment."
The plot measures almost 23,200 m2. Of this space, 7,100 m2 has been transformed into a warehouse and operations building, office and showroom, along with a service and training facility. The plot offers enough space to expand the new buildings by an additional 3,500 m2, should STIHL India continue on its growth path.
With a total investment volume of around 10 million euros, construction took less than one and a half years to complete. The groundbreaking ceremony was held in April 2019, and operations at the new distribution center started in October 2020. However, the coronavirus pandemic had prevented the facility from being officially dedicated until now.
