Leadec inaugurates new office in Chennai

STUTTGART, Germany and CHENNAI, India, Oct. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Leadec, the leading global service specialist for factories, has officially opened its new office in Chennai, in the state of Tamil Nadu. After a ribbon-cutting and coconut-breaking ceremony, a panel of customers and industry representatives discussed the future of outsourcing and fuels.

"We have been serving our customers from Chennai since 2010 and now have more than 1400 employees in South India and 3200 in India altogether. Chennai is an important center for the automotive, commercial vehicle and process industries and is our base for providing services in the neighboring states of Karnataka, Andra Pradesh, Kerala and Telangana," says Sudhir Gurtoo, Managing Director of Leadec India.

The beginnings were modest. Six employees took on the first order from a customer in the automotive industry. Since then, Leadec has grown steadily and today serves 21 industrial companies in the region. The 100% renewal rate proves that Leadec is a valued reliable partner for the industry. The service specialist operates at 50 locations across India and has grown, year after year, at a CAGR of more than 25%.

The future of the industry

"CVs based on future fuels" and "The future of outsourcing strategy" were the two topics of the panel discussion at the Leadec Customer Meeting on October 19, 2023.
