NS Instruments India Private Ltd (NSIP), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nippon Seiki Ltd, of Japan inaugurated its production unit at Sri City on Wednesday.
In a colourful ceremony held at the factory premises, Mamoru Kawada, Director, Nippon Seiki, administered the dedication ceremony and declared the plant inaugurated in the presence of Motohiko Ogawa, Managing Director, NSIP; Ravindra Sannareddy, Managing Director, Sri City; and a host of dignitaries from the automotive and electronic industries.
Addressing the gathering, Mamoru Kawada said, "I am thankful to the management of Sri city and the State Government for extending excellent cooperation in building this state-of-the-art plant on time. Besides meeting the demand from the Indian market, we wish to export to other countries in future from the Sri City plant, as it is located close to sea ports. I solicit the support of all our customers."
Speaking at the ceremony, Ravindra Sannareddy said, "Today’s event is the second inauguration within a week, and NSIP is the eighth Japanese company that has become operational. When two other auto components makers Kikuwa and Kusakabe, and the three biggies from Japan Isuzu, Unicharm and NHK Spring become operational, a strong ecosystem for Japanese companies will have taken shape here."
As NSIP produces a wide variety of electronics-based instrument clusters for automobiles, Sannareddy said, "This plant makes an entry into the automobile-electronics sector in Sri City."
Besides the Sri City unit, Nippon Seiki has one more plant at Manesar, Haryana. In both these plants the company produces instrument clusters for automobiles and motorcycles.
Since 1946, Nippon Seiki has been manufacturing and selling instrument clusters for automobiles, motorcycles and other applications, and office automation appliances, remote controllers, LCD and OLED. Besides its three production plants in Japan, Nippon Seiki operates 26 units spread across 11 countries. (INN)
