Marposs Opens a Tech Center in Bengaluru

The Bologna-based Group, present in India since 1981, aims to grow on the domestic market in the Semiconductor, Consumer Electronics and Aerospace sectors.

Marposs, a global provider of solutions for quality control and precision measurement, has inaugurated a new office and tech center in Bangalore, covering about 400 square meters. The center will house the company’s most advanced technologies and better meet local customers’ expectations.

The opening was attended by Kum. Shobha Karandlaje (Union Minister of State for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Labour & Employment MP. Bengaluru North/ Karnataka), Davide Colombo (Deputy Head of the Economic and Innovation. Department, Embassy of Italy in India), Abhijeet Sinha (Program Director—Ease of Doing Business in India), Alfonso Tagliaferri (Consolate General of ITALY in Bangalore), and Luca Matteucci (Managing Director Marposs India).

Marposs has been present in India since 1981 (initially mainly commercial through partnerships, distributors and sales agents). In 2007, the company established a direct branch in Delhi, and in 2008, it expanded its facilities in Gurgaon by establishing offices and service centers.  Currently, the company has six local offices in Manesar, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Jamshedpur, Pune and Bangalore. 

Today, Marposs India has a turnover of 20 million euros (forecast closing 2024) and employs 120 employees. The automotive sector accounts for about 50% of its turnover, and the remaining half is divided between mechanical components and machine tool applications. Over the next five years, growth will be concentrated in the Semiconductor, Consumer Electronics, Aerospace and EV Batteries sectors.

Francesco Possati, HQ General Manager and Vice President of Marposs, comments: “We see great potential for Marposs in India for the reasons shared by the President of the European Commission and the Prime Minister of India a few days ago. Together, we will develop a reliable and secure value chain with a focus on the semiconductor, e-mobility, and space sectors. The opening of our tech center responds exactly to this need. This center will be the second in the world – after the one in California – focused on specific R&D activities on semiconductors and consumer electronics, leak testing on batteries, and the latest technologies for quality control of aerospace components.”

Marposs already has numerous relationships with local businesses, government institutions and research organizations. It is also a partner of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the Indian automotive industry.
