Acer ramps up Puducherry contract manufacturing capacity
Chennai: IT hardware manufacturer Acer is ramping up its contract manufacturing footprint both in Puducherry as well as neighbouring Tamil Nadu. The company, which uses Puducherry based Plumage to make a range of computers, notebooks and other products, is looking to expand production capacity with Plumage as well as start a similar contract manufacturing set up near Chennai. Speaking to TOI, Acer India president & MD, Harish Kohli said, "Plumage are in very serious dialogue with Puducherry government asking for about 15 to 20 acre where they want to build a much larger setup. What they have done now is a single line on which the manufacturing will happen and in this they can make per shift 500 laptops a day which effectively means close to 2 lakh units in a year." Acer, which has had a manufacturing/assembly set up in Puducherry since in the late 1990s, is also all set to establish contract manufacturing footprint in Tamil Nadu as well. "In the next six to eight weeks another vendor like Plumage with whom we do some work already are going to expand into the notebook business for us and their location is going to be in Tamil Nadu near Chennai," said Kohli. Plumage's older Puducherry plant currently makes all-in-one computers for Acer. "They also do for us the Intellectual Flat Panels as well as make products for our 100% subsidiary Altos India which sells server and workstation class machines," he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Godrej Riverine - Exclusive Payment Plan 30:40:30 Godrej Properties Get Quote Undo You Can Also Check: Chennai AQI | Weather in Chennai | Bank Holidays in Chennai | Public Holidays in Chennai | Gold Rates Today in Chennai | Silver Rates Today in Chennai With Acer currently conceptualising and making products made for India, in India, it is also exploring export opportunities in the South East Asian region in markets like the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam.
