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. Designed with a long-term vision, the facility serves as a future-ready platform built for generations, strengthening the company’s ability to serve customers across southern and eastern India with enhanced responsiveness, reliability, and lifecycle support.

Spread across 12.27 acres, the 21,350 sqm assembly and service facility offers the scale and flexibility required to support customer growth, evolving application needs, and future expansion. It underscores SEW-EURODRIVE’s commitment to sustainable development, technology leadership, and long-term partnerships with Indian industry, blending global engineering standards with strong local execution.

Aligned with green building norms, the facility integrates natural daylighting, solar power generation, and rainwater harvesting systems. Energy-efficient construction and advanced climate control systems help reduce shopfloor temperatures by up to 3°C, enabling stable production conditions, consistent quality, and improved workplace comfort.

At the core of the facility is a 15,000 sqm assembly shop featuring digitisation-ready, high-productivity assembly cells based on a single-piece flow concept. It also houses SEW-EURODRIVE India’s first semi-automated painting booth, ensuring consistent surface quality and higher throughput.

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