With the TCIL (Technical Center India Laboratory), Huf expands its local engineering competence after the inauguration of the Technical Center India (TCI) in Baner (Pune) last year. The company is continuing its growth plan and making India a cornerstone in its engineering and operations network to provide global automotive customers with high-quality and innovative products.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>“In 2008, Huf opened its doors in Pune and very quickly became a well-known address for excellent access and authorization products,” stated Dirk Fischer, COO, Huf. “Today, Huf India is one of our flagship locations for lean management and sustainability. The team in India plays an important role in our Grow Beyond strategy to increase our net sales in 2031 up to €2 billion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>Stating that the company is expanding its global network of testing and validation centers to meet the ever-increasing demand for its innovative products and fulfill the high expectations of the customers, Bogdan Nuna, CTO, Huf, asserted, “The new TCIL is the next milestone in our global set up of development teams to deliver innovation to customers when and where it is needed at reasonable prices, while retaining the leading position when it comes to product quality.

Skilled test and validation engineers will work around the clock on the latest car door handles and locking solutions for Asian but also global customers. Stressing that the TCIL complements perfectly with the company’s strategy of high vertical integration in India, Sandeep Chaudhary, Vice President, Huf India, added, “In Chakan, we have production competencies like die casting, molding, Robotic painting, and assembly and can now directly test and validate our products to supply top quality to our customers. Combined with the product development team located in the western part of Pune, we offer high competencies in engineering and production.”\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>TCIL is the next step after the opening of the new TCI at the ultra-modern building in the Baner Balewadi district of Pune. The new Laboratory will support product development activities for the Asian market by testing and validating upcoming innovations, but also highly frequented products like lock sets and door handles that Huf is already supplying to global car manufacturers. The new TCIL will also take care of the annual requalification requirements emerging from other Asian and other global Huf locations.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>All Geared to Meet Growth Targets for 2031 \u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>Recently, Huf opened the Technical Center Romania Laboratory in Timisoara and is continuing to expand its engineering competence centers with the new laboratory in India.
