TECH WITH A PURPOSE

In a strategic move to deepen its roots in India and power the next wave of industrial advancement, Italian global leader in precision measurement and quality control solutions, Marposs SpA, has launched a state-of-the-art Technology Center in Bengaluru.

With a legacy in India since 1981, Marposs has steadily transitioned from a commercial presence to a robust network of six offices and service centers. The latest addition, the Bengaluru Tech Center, is a bold step toward reinforcing the company’s long-term vision. Located in the bustling Peenya Industrial Area, the 400 sq mt facility will double up as a gateway for innovation, local engagement, and industry collaboration tailored to the demands of India’s fast-growing high-tech sectors.

Currently employing 120 professionals and generating €20 million in revenue (projected 2024), Marposs India has set its sights on expanding into the Semiconductor, Consumer Electronics, Aerospace, and EV Batteries sectors over the next five years.

Capturing the spirit of the initiative, Francesco Possati, HQ General Manager and Vice President, Marposs, shared, “We see great potential for Marposs in India for the reasons shared by the President of the European Commission and the Prime Minister of India to develop a reliable and secure value chain with a focus on the Semiconductor, E-Mobility and Space sectors. The opening of our tech center responds exactly to this need. This center will be the second in the world—after the one in California—focused on specific R&D activities on semiconductors and consumer electronics, leak testing on batteries, and the latest technologies for quality control of aerospace components.”

Local Touch, Global Impact

Beyond hardware and systems, the Tech Center is about cultivating partnerships and nurturing innovation in India. Luca Matteucci, Managing Director, Marposs India Pvt Ltd, explained the larger vision—driving innovation, enhancing R&D, and developing local talent—and commented, “This facility aims to strengthen technological capabilities to meet market demands and support business growth.”

“The center will drive innovation through focused R&D, helping customers adopt advanced technologies to improve manufacturing efficiency and product quality,” he elaborated. “With a local presence, Marposs can provide faster support, training, and service, ensuring customers’ evolving needs are met. It will also foster collaboration with local industries and research institutions, strengthening customer relationships and enhancing market competitiveness.”

Inside the Tech Core

The facility is fully equipped with cutting-edge solutions to cater to a wide range of manufacturing needs. Nitika Sharma, Marketing Head, Marposs India Pvt Ltd, offered an insight into the center: “The Marposs Technology Center in Bangalore features state-of-the-art measurement and inspection technologies. Key solutions include probing systems, in-process gauging, and tool monitoring for machine tools like grinding, metal cutting, stamping, and presses.”

It also offers dimensional gauging systems (manual and automated), leak testing, assembly solutions, and non-destructive testing to ensure product reliability. “Additionally, the center houses gauging components, computers, and statistical process control (SPC) systems to support quality control and production efficiency,” she shared.

Gearing Up for Industry Showcases

The center is not just about R&D—it will also serve as a platform for knowledge-sharing and engagement. “Marposs plans to hold open houses this year, focusing on key sectors such as Semiconductor, Consumer Electronics, Aerospace, and EV Batteries,” revealed Sharma.

The facility will emphasize innovation and knowledge-sharing, aligning with India's vision to become a global leader in these industries. “The center will help professionals understand the importance of quality and cutting-edge technologies in manufacturing,” she continued. “These events will provide valuable insights into Marposs’ advanced solutions and industry best practices.”

A Glimpse into the Future

Against the backdrop of growing global compliance standards and precise requirements. the Marposs Bengaluru Tech Center is all set to deliver world-class tools and expertise to Indian manufacturers. The hub is to play a critical role in advancing digital manufacturing while supporting local businesses to establish India as a world leader in quality-focused production as the country picks up pace in its industrial and technological transformation.
