Industrial automation firm Cybernetik will set up a new manufacturing plant in Vile Bhagad MIDC, near the Goa-Mumbai highway. At a location spanning 20 acres, the new plant will cover an area of 80,000 square metres.

With 120 personnel, it will increase the firm’s production capacity by 15x. This will be the company’s fifth manufacturing unit, besides the four existing ones in Pune and Nadiad.

The company undertakes the designing, building and installation of end-to-end, turnkey automation systems for pharmaceutical, chemical and other manufacturing industries. 

Mahesh Wagle, Co-Founder & Director – Cybernetik, said, “The new plant will help in catering to the US and other export markets. Increasing demand for quality products is one of the key factors driving the growing trend for integrating robotics to automate manufacturing processes. Around 15 years ago, Indian industries had less than 100 robots manufactured within the country. Currently, we have 5,000 to 6,000 robots being built every year.”
