Daifuku Intralogistics India Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of Japan-based Daifuku Co, Ltd, a global leader in intralogistics and material handling automation, inaugurated a new Rs 2.27 billion manufacturing facility in Hyderabad, Telangana.

We are honoured to contribute to this journey of excellence and lasting impact for customers and communities alike."
This transformative initiative highlights Daifuku’s steadfast commitment to Make in India, a vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi to strengthen India’s manufacturing capabilities, create employment, and foster economic growth. As a vital step in Daifuku’s India growth strategy, the facility is designed to meet the growing demand for automation across industries, including e-commerce, retail, automotive, pharmaceutical, and FMCG.
