Festo is working closely with major vehicle man-
ufacturers in Germany, offering its full support to de-
sign and production lines. In the field for a long time,
it offers a lot of customer solutions, particularly spe-
cial handling systems, modified products and modu-
lar services for air fabrication. All the products are
OE-driven with less scope for the aftermarket.
Mr. Enis Ersü, Execu-
tive Board Chairman/
CEO, ISRA Vision AG,
observed: “Though the
general focus of the
company is on sectors
like steel, paper, plastic film and solar energy,
it has now turned its attention to the automotive
industry. For this, it has already established its
Indian subsidiary at Pune headed by Mr. Anand
Mehta, Country Manager.
The company also supplies its products to
leading OEMs in India like Tata Motors, Mer-
cedes and Hyundai, and it is expected to cover
more customers in the coming days. With its operations covering 25 countries worldwide, it has its main manu-
facturing facilities in China, the US and Germany. With 45 different applications, the company products are
fully integrated with machine systems.
Team Technik is
a 35-year-old Ger-
man firm with three
product divisions –
automotive, medical
and solar. Last year,
its turnover grew from 85 million Euro to 145 million Euro. Its
German facility, with two subsidiaries in China and one each in
Poland, Atlanta and Arizona, is operating to full capacity.
The company is planning to set up an office in India, most
probably in Pune, the hot-spot for the automotive segment.
The company supplies products to Indian OEMs like Ford and Bosch from its German plant. Effica in Coim-
batore is its partner for sales and service support in India.
