SAF-HOLLAND opens new Tech Center in Pune, India

Bessenbach (Germany), August 28, 2024. SAF-HOLLAND SE ("SAF-HOLLAND"), one of the world's leading suppliers of trailer and truck components, announces the opening of its new Tech Center India (TCI), which will play a central role as a globally integrated location for research and development activities.

 

“The new Tech Center India is an important addition to our global R&D network and part of our corporate strategy to expand our global backbone in the area of development. It is an important step in mastering the increasing complexity at system level and, among other things, deepening our expertise in the software area to further develop our mechatronic systems,” said Christoph Günter, President EMEA & CTO, and adds: “With the establishment of the TCI, we are strategically well positioned to drive innovation and expand our competitive advantage in the industry.”

 

The TCI will play a key role in the development of software for SAF-HOLLAND's mechatronic products, such as the Electronic Braking System for trailers, where the company sees strong growth potential due to its strong market position in the trailer sector and the increasing global demand for mechatronic safety systems. TCI employees will also help to meet increasing regulatory requirements, such as cyber security legislation.

 

The location in Pune, India, near where SAF-HOLLAND already operates a production site under the YORK brand, was carefully selected due to its strategic advantages. The new Tech Centre is an important part of SAF-HOLLAND's global R&D strategy and will contribute to achieving its long-term goals. By expanding its capacities in India, the company is not only expanding its global R&D and IT backbone, but also strengthening its commitment to deliver innovative and high-quality solutions to customers worldwide.
