applications, the Parwanoo plant has gained recognition from its customers as a preferred source for high performance filters made to world - class standards.
There is also a manufacturing and validation facility, established in record time, for the manufacture of Canister filters, which are currently being supplied to the Ministry of Defence.
In view of the market demand, the plant has also started manufacture of Air and Industrial filters, expected to emerge as a major growth area within the next few years.
In its drive towards a clean and pollution-free environment, the plant uses a ‘Solid Waste Incinerator’ to prevent emission of harmful gases into the atmosphere. Other devices installed in the plant include Onload Tap Changers to control voltage fluctuations, Electronic Trivectometers for accurately recording product performance, and efficient insulators for conserving energy.
Filter Plant, Khandsa
The most modern facility of MAHLE Filter Systems, the Khandsa plant was set up in 1998 at Gurgaon in Haryana. This plant focuses on the manufacture and assembly of Air filters and Spin - on Oil and Fuel filters for supply to manufacturers of new generation cars as well as for the export markets.
