SEW‑EURODRIVE India Inaugurates New Drive Technology Centre in Chennai

SEW-EURODRIVE India has inaugurated its new Drive Technology Centre (DTC) in Chennai, one of South India’s fastest-growing industrial hubs. Conceived with a long-term perspective, the facility is designed as a robust platform built for generations. It strengthens SEW-EURODRIVE’s ability to serve customers across southern and eastern India with higher responsiveness, reliability, and long-term support.

Spread across 12.27 acres, the 21,350-sqm assembly and service facility provides the scale and flexibility needed to support customer growth, evolving application requirements, and future expansion. It reflects SEW-EURODRIVE’s commitment to sustainable development, technology leadership, and long-term partnership with Indian industry, combining global engineering standards with strong local execution.

The facility complies with green building norms, incorporating natural daylight, solar power generation, and rainwater harvesting. Energy-efficient construction and advanced climate control reduce shopfloor temperatures by up to 3°C, supporting stable production conditions, consistent quality, and improved working environments.

At its core is a 15,000-sqm assembly shop with digitisation-ready, high-productivity assembly cells based on a single-piece flow concept, along with SEW-EURODRIVE India’s first semi-automated painting booth to ensure consistent surface quality and higher throughput.

With this DTC, SEW-EURODRIVE reinforces its role as a trusted partner, investing in capabilities that support customers’ long-term industrial growth in India.
