Staubli Invests USD 10 Million to Expand Bangalore Plant, Boosting India’s Solar Manufacturing Push

Staubli, a global provider of industrial and mechatronic solutions, on Wednesday announced the expansion of its manufacturing facility in Bangalore, marking a strategic investment of USD 10 million. The expansion further strengthens Stäubli’s presence in India’s fast-growing solar PhotoVoltaic (PV) sector and underlines the company’s long-term commitment to the country’s industrial development and the ‘Make in India’ initiative.

The expanded facility will feature state-of-the-art automated assembly lines and advanced quality assurance systems dedicated to the production of MC4-Ev01 and MC4-Ev02 connectors, key components used to connect solar modules with inverters and balance-of-system equipment. This development enhances Staubli’s ability to cater to rising domestic demand for high-quality, locally manufactured PV connectors, while also supporting its global supply commitments.

“India is a key pillar in Staubli’s global growth and manufacturing strategy,” said Gerald Vogt, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Staubli Group. “This investment strengthens our worldwide supply capabilities and allows us to support customers across markets with reliable, high-performance PV connector solutions manufactured to the highest quality and sustainability standards.”

India’s solar power sector continues to scale rapidly, driving increased demand for dependable, locally produced components. Staubli’s expanded Bangalore facility addresses this requirement by enabling higher production capacity, shorter lead times, and greater supply chain resilience for OEMs, EPC companies, and asset owners.

“This expansion reflects our long-term commitment to India’s renewable energy journey,” said Gurupad Bhat, Managing Director, Staubli Tec Systems India. “By strengthening local manufacturing, engineering expertise, and skill development, we are supporting the solar ecosystem with globally benchmarked solutions while contributing to job creation and industrial growth.”

The facility incorporates advanced automation and energy-efficient manufacturing processes and operates as a zero-discharge unit, in line with stringent environmental standards. The expanded capacity will also accelerate local application engineering and product development, enabling faster, market-specific innovation while maintaining global benchmarks.

Staubli currently serves customers across major regions in India, including Delhi, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Chennai, and Karnataka, highlighting the company’s strong nationwide footprint within the renewable energy ecosystem.

The Bangalore facility will play a pivotal role in Staubli’s global operations, supporting both established and emerging markets as renewable energy adoption accelerates worldwide. The expansion also includes a local vendor development initiative, strengthening backward integration and India’s renewable energy manufacturing ecosystem.

The expanded Bangalore facility began production in January 2026.
