Global air compressor leader ELGi Equipments has opened a new vacuum pump assembly line in Coimbatore, India, marking a significant step in expanding its vacuum technology offerings, enhancing local manufacturing, and improving customer service. 

This expansion leverages ELGi's core strengths in engineering and quality, promising faster response times, reliable performance, and enhanced aftermarket support for various industries.

The assembly line builds on ELGi’s multi-year technology licensing agreement with D.V.P. Vacuum Technology S.p.A., Italy, under which ELGi manufactures, assembles, tests, and markets D.V.P.’s proprietary vacuum products in India. With vacuum being a natural adjacency to compressed air, this initiative reinforces ELGi’s vision to create a strong, future-ready portfolio of industrial air and vacuum solutions.

Commenting on the inauguration, Dr. Jairam Varadaraj, Managing Director, Elgi Equipments said, “The inauguration of our vacuum pump assembly line is a significant step in ELGi’s journey to build globally competitive industrial solutions from India. Vacuum technology is a natural extension of our compressed air business, and this facility reflects our commitment to applying Deming-recognised Total Quality Management practices across every new product line we introduce. By combining proven European technology with ELGi’s manufacturing discipline, service reach, and quality culture, we are well positioned to deliver highly reliable vacuum solutions to customers in India and, over time, across global markets.”

Anvar Jay Varadaraj, Chief Operating Officer, Elgi Equipments, added: “The global vacuum pump market continues to grow steadily, driven by rising demand across manufacturing, packaging, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and process industries. With this new assembly line, ELGi strengthens its position as a trusted global manufacturer, reaffirming our commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainable growth, while creating long-term value for our customers, partners, and stakeholders.”
