Stephenson Gobin (SG), a UK-based manufacturer of industrial components, has opened a new production facility in Attibele, Karnataka, just outside Bangalore. The site will focus on making electromagnetic brakes, clutches, and fire safety devices for industrial doors.
This expansion is aimed at supporting SG’s growing customer base in the automation and safety sectors, both in India and around the world. The new 20,000 sq ft facility is equipped with modern manufacturing equipment, dedicated assembly lines, a clean room for inspection, and a laser marking unit.
The layout and processes closely follow the company’s standards at its main site in the UK. With this move, SG significantly increases its production capacity in the region, ensuring faster response times and improved delivery for customers across Asia and other international markets.
The facility also includes new office space and a conference room to support local operations. A traditional Puja ceremony was held during the opening to mark the occasion, in line with local customs and to show respect for the community.
The investment reflects SG’s long-term commitment to India and its role in the company’s broader strategy to build a more flexible, regionally balanced supply chain. It also highlights the company’s focus on operational resilience, product quality, and innovation in key sectors like automation and safety.
Andy Collinson, CEO of Stephenson Gobin, said “Expanding in India is an important step for us. This facility will help us scale up production, strengthen our global operations, and support customers more effectively in a fast-growing market.” The new plant is expected to play a key role in supporting SG’s future product development and regional partnerships, reinforcing the company’s aim to grow its footprint in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
