It is India’s first Japanese sewing machine manufacturing factory. JUKI started their production in June 2024 as a production section of JUKI India Manufacturing Plant. The factory was inaugurated in the presence of Shri Koji Yagi, Consulate General – Consulate General of Japan in Mumbai, Mr. Akira Kiyohara, Representative Director Chairman, Juki Corporation, Japan, and Mr. Katsumi Nihei, Senior Managing Executive Officer of Juki Corporation, Japan and Chairman of Juki India Pvt. Ltd.,
The company says the development marks a significant milestone for its India operations as it prepares to focus on new divisions dedicated to the sewing industries, areas poised for substantial growth. The expansion is part of JUKI’s long-term strategy to enhance its operational capabilities and support its extensive customer base in India and overseas. This move by JUKI addresses the concerns of reducing delivery time for customers in the Indian subcontinent through faster delivery of machines and parts, besides generating employment opportunities for locals. The production from this facility is likely to be exported to Southwest Asia, the Middle East, African, and GCC regions, again reducing the lead time to supply.
