Bodo Möller Chemie has inaugurated its new AS 9120 certified aviation-grade warehouse facility in Bengaluru, strengthening its commitment to India’s rapidly expanding aerospace, defence, electronics, and advanced manufacturing sectors. Strategically located on the outskirts of Bengaluru near Madavara, the facility has been developed to support rising demand for specialised aerospace materials and world-class supply chain management from aviation OEMs, defence manufacturers, and MRO operators across the country.
The new warehouse has been designed with advanced engineering standards and incorporates specialised cold-storage capabilities developed by Italian engineers. The infrastructure can safely store high-performance industrial materials at temperatures reaching as low as -25 degrees Celsius, ensuring optimal preservation of sensitive aerospace-grade adhesives, sealants, and advanced performance materials.
The launch marks a significant step in the company’s India growth strategy as the country positions itself as a global manufacturing hub for aerospace and electronics. Bengaluru, widely recognised as India’s aviation and technology capital, continues to attract substantial investments in commercial aviation, defence production, electronics manufacturing, and maintenance services.
Industry experts expect the sector to witness strong growth momentum over the next five years, driven by increasing domestic production, fleet expansion, and rising localisation initiatives. The inauguration ceremony was attended by senior leadership from the global organisation and industry representatives, including Frank Haug, CEO of Bodo Möller Chemie, and Manish Dave, Business Director – Industrials, Henkel.
Speaking at the launch, Frank Haug said, “India is becoming one of the most important markets for aerospace and advanced industrial manufacturing. Our investment in this facility reflects our long-term confidence in India’s growth story and our commitment to delivering reliable supply chain infrastructure, technical expertise, and advanced material solutions to customers across the region. Globally, we expect our aviation and electronics businesses to individually reach revenues of €100 million in the coming years.”
The facility has been developed to enhance material availability, improve logistics efficiency, and provide technical support for mission-critical industrial applications. Many of the products stored at the facility, including advanced adhesives and specialty materials, are used in aircraft fuselage manufacturing and other structural aerospace applications where long product lifecycle and stringent quality standards are essential.
The company also unveiled a corporate film during the event, highlighting its capabilities, global partnerships, and long-term vision for supporting India’s aerospace and industrial ecosystem. During an interaction with media representatives, the leadership team discussed emerging opportunities in aerospace, electronics, renewable energy, defence manufacturing, and industrial engineering, while emphasising the growing role of advanced material technologies in modern manufacturing.
