Having maintained its own production facilities in Asia since 2006, STUKEN, a leading provider of precision deep-drawn parts, foresees substantial growth in its operations in South East Asia. This expansion is driven by the dynamic and consistently expanding market for individual mobility, with STÜKEN's expertise highly sought after in sectors such as automotive, supplying components for brakes, exhaust gas systems, and various sensors.

Following meticulous research and a comprehensive assessment of opportunities and risks, India has been identified as the strategic choice for a new production site in Asia, according to the company. Dr Uwe Krismann, CEO of STUKEN, emphasised, "The increasing standards for exhaust gas emissions have led to a significant surge in demand for deep-drawn components, especially for sensors in the entire powertrain. This technology is crucial not only for cars but also for the multitude of two- and three-wheelers sold in the Indian market annually."

The upcoming STUKEN plant is scheduled for construction in the greater Pune area, a region renowned for its prominence in the IT and automotive sectors, boasting an established supplier structure. Dr Krismann pointed out, "Pune has been dynamically and successfully developing for several years, becoming increasingly international. This creates a favourable environment for our employees who will actively contribute to the on-site development." The company aims to initiate deep-drawn parts production in India by 2025.
