HJS
footprint in India
positively essential
HJS Emission Technology, a
German manufacturer and innova-
tor of emission control equipment,
operational in India since 2008,
has recently moved its offices from
Bangalore to Gurgaon (New Delhi)
where its subsidiary HJS Emission
Technology India Pvt. Ltd. uses the
location also for purchasing activi-
ties for its European business.
HJS Emission Technology India
benefits from its German parent
company with over 35 years of ex-
perience as an EGT systems suppli-
er. Over 500 employees are engaged
in developing and manufacturing
original and retrofit equipment for
passenger cars and commercial ve-
hicles as well as for a wide range of
non-road mobile machinery and sta-
tionary applications.
In an exclusive interview to MO-
TORINDIA, Mr. Peter Neumann,
Director Sales - Indian Projects, ex-
plains in detail the company’s ambi-
tious plans.
Excerpts:
MOTORINDIA (MI):
HJS be-
came functional in India in 2008,
while HJS Emission Technology
India Pvt. Ltd. was established
in March 2011. Please give us an
update on your Indian operations
thus far.
Peter Neumann (PN):
It is
true that HJS started the process of
exploring the Indian market at the
close of 2008, which was then fol-
lowed by a step-wise setting up of
its Indian subsidiary in Bangalore.
Today, just two years down the line,
we are happy to announce that we
have set up our own warehouse in
Gurgaon, with its close proximity to
Delhi, and also some of our custom-
ers and associates.
HJS is delivering a series prod-
ucts to two OEMs already and
has projects running with many
other customers. The pace of
business is no doubt a calculated
and moderate one, since the na-
tionwide move from BSIII to
BSIV legislation is still
u n d e r w a y .
But, neverthe-
component zone
