New Yanmar engine factory
Yanmar Engine Manufacturing India Pvt. Ltd. (YEMI) has announced the commencement of production at its new state-of-the-art industrial engine manufacturing plant located at the Origins Industrial Estate in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. The new plant will produce 80,000 units of 15kW to 37kW class industrial engines per year with production capacity planned to increase to 160,000 units.
The engines will be supplied to India, a major agricultural country, as well as to Europe, the United States, Asia and other regions where demand is strong. The plant will first produce engines for Yanmar brand tractors manufactured by International Tractors Ltd (a joint venture company of Yanmar) and for other agricultural and construction industry OEMs.
The new plant is equipped with the same production and quality control systems as those used in Japan to ensure high quality engine production. In addition, solar panels with a total annual output of approximately 1,380,000kWh have been installed. Together with the use of rainwater and greenbelts, the plant will utilize this renewable energy in its operation, greatly reducing its environmental impact.
