In a significant development for the food processing industry, Tummers Food Processing Solutions and Kiron Food Processing Technologies have joined forces to create Tummers Kiron India, a new joint venture headquartered in Mumbai, India. The announcement of this strategic collaboration was made at the FPT stand during the Inter Food Tech expo in New Delhi, marking a milestone for both companies in their efforts to expand their presence in the rapidly growing Indian market.
Tummers Kiron will initially focus on establishing a strong foundation in the Indian market by serving as a dedicated sales office and a warehouse for spare parts. This approach will enable the joint venture to provide prompt and efficient support to its Indian clients, ensuring that their needs are met with the highest level of service and expertise. By having a local presence in Mumbai, the commercial and industrial hub of India, Tummers Kiron will be well-positioned to cater to the diverse requirements of the Indian food processing industry.
As the joint venture gains momentum, Tummers Kiron India has ambitious plans for future growth and expansion. The company aims to establish a state-of-the-art production facility in India, where it will manufacture a range of essential products from both Tummers and Kiron. This strategic move will not only allow the joint venture to better serve the Indian market with locally produced equipment but also enable it to tailor its offerings to meet the specific needs and preferences of Indian customers.
To ensure the success of this new venture, Lennaert van Dijk, the Managing Director of Tummers Food Processing Solutions, will also assume the role of Managing Director at Tummers Kiron India. His leadership and expertise will be instrumental in guiding the joint venture through its initial stages and setting the course for its future growth and development. By having a single, cohesive vision at the helm, Tummers Kiron India Pvt. Ltd. will be well-equipped to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by the Indian market.
Erwin Tummers, CEO of Tummers Food Processing Solutions, expressed his enthusiasm for the joint venture, stating, "This joint venture has been a long-standing aspiration for Tummers. Being represented in India, a rapidly growing market with immense potential aligns perfectly with our global expansion strategy." This statement underscores the importance of the Indian market for Tummers and highlights the company's commitment to establishing a strong presence in the country through its partnership with Kiron Food Processing Technologies.
Narinder Kochar, CEO of Kiron Food Processing Technologies, echoed this sentiment, saying, "We are excited to collaborate with Tummers, combining our strengths and expertise to offer superior food processing solutions to the Indian market." The collaboration between these two industry leaders brings together a wealth of knowledge, experience, and resources, positioning Tummers Kiron India Pvt. Ltd. to become a major player in the Indian food processing sector.
