Food coding specialist Domino has opened a factory in Manesar, India, in the Delhi-Mumbai industrial corridor, for the manufacture of inks and printers for coding and marking.
Replacing Domino’s existing two facilities 25km apart, the new 4,050 sq ft factory has been built to strict green building design specifications and will house an integrated warehouse and billing centre.
Underlining Domino’s commitment to grow its workforce in a region with fast-growing business opportunities, the team comprises 35 employees, including three new roles: Fluids Plant Manager, Printer Plant Manager and Logistics Manager.
Three years in construction, the factory was recently opened by Nigel Bond, Domino’s Group Managing Director. Observing local customs, a coconut was cracked at the opening ceremony to symbolise the Indian custom of bringing health and success.
“The facility will have improved technologies and processes that will allow for a seamless approach, from manufacturing through to the final logistical stages,” said Bond concluding: “Environmental performance is a crucial part of Domino’s evolution, and by designing an environmentally sound factory, we can continue that process. As a result, our energy consumption will reduce dramatically, while our employees benefit from increased natural light and a cleaner environment.”
