Mr. Vimal Kalaria greeted more than 150 distinguished guests, colleagues, and partners with a warm welcome. In his address, he highlighted the new facility not merely as an infrastructure expansion, but as a strategic milestone that reflects PILLER’s unwavering commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainable progress – both in India and globally.

“This new facility represents not just an expansion of infrastructure, but a significant step forward in PILLER’s commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability. It stands as a symbol of our growing presence in India and our dedication to supporting industries in their transition toward energy efficiency and decarbonization,” said Mr. Vimal Kalaria.
 

Piller Global (India), a subsidiary of the globally renowned Piller Blowers & Compressors GmbH, headquartered in Germany, brings over a century of engineering excellence and global expertise to India. With operations across nine countries and more than 530 employees worldwide, PILLER delivers superior Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) solutions that drive sustainable progress in key industries including distillation, evaporation, and waste heat recovery.

The new facility at Plot I-23B, Chordia Industrial Park, Khandala, Naigaon, Shirwal, Satara, Maharashtra, 412801, spanning 9,106.20 sqm with Phase 1 covering 2,855 sqm, will significantly enhance local manufacturing capabilities, service responsiveness, and operational efficiency. Designed to embody PILLER’s global standards, it strengthens the company’s ability to deliver “Built in India, for India - and beyond” solutions.

This milestone follows a year of progress since the Bhumipujan ceremony on April 9, 2024, where the Foundation was laid with prayers and blessings for prosperity and growth. The journey from blueprint to reality culminated in a Vastu Pooja ceremony on March 30, 2025, coinciding with the festival of Gudhi Padwa, symbolizing new beginnings and harmony.

“With our new production facility in India, we are sending a clear signal about our global growth strategy. This investment is an expression of our confidence in the Indian market, whose quality standards are increasingly aligned with international standards“, said Christoph Böhnisch, CEO. For PILLER, this is more than just an expansion of our location — it is a strategic step that strengthens our global presence in growing markets and shows that we are investing where the future is being created.”

With this expansion, PILLER aims to:

• Reduce turnaround times for customer orders

• Optimize production costs while maintaining German-engineered quality

• Enhance local service and support with faster response times

• Deliver tailored solutions that meet both local and global industry needs
   

Expressing gratitude to employees, partners, and customers, Mr. Kalaria acknowledged the collective effort that made this vision a reality: “As we inaugurate this new chapter, our vision remains clear—to innovate responsibly, to grow sustainably, and to contribute meaningfully to the industries we serve. Together, we will continue to move forward with the same passion and purpose that define the PILLER spirit.”

The inauguration marks the beginning of a new era for Piller India — an era defined by innovation, reliability, and a deep commitment to supporting industries on their path to energy efficiency and decarbonization.
