SSI SCHAEFER Sets Up New Indian Office

The establishment of the new SSI SCHAEFER branch office in Mumbai, India was a new milestone for the industry leader of industrial storage system supplier. According to the company's corporate policy, it is essential to setup bases in countries where sustained growth is observed. SCHAEFER Systems International Pvt. Ltd was incorporated in July 2008, with the country's head office located close to Mumbai International Airport.

India is fast-growing to become one of the major powers in Asia, and many of SSI SCHAEFER corporate clients are already present.

"It is not an easy market, but it's certainly exciting and challenging." Mr. Brian Miles, Managing Director of SSI SCHAEFER APAC/ Middle East remarked. "We have a mission to be there - our customers need us to support them locally."

The company had been servicing Indian customers for the past 3 to 4 years, with a strong distributor setup under Horvert Inc. in Chennai and south west of India. Many successful projects had been planned and installed for major MNC customers in the automotive, logistics and FMCG industries, over different parts of India.

Concerning the future, Mr. Xavier Perello Pairada, General Manager of SSI SCHAEFER India is confident that the coming years will be rewarding.

"We aim to become one of the leading suppliers of industrial storage and material handling equipments in India in the near future. SSI SCHAEFER will set the standards and be the reference in providing storage and logistics solutions for the industry in general."
