Finnish firm Outotec, a global provider of process solutions, technologies and services for the mining and metallurgical industries, on Friday opened its subsidiary - Outotec India.
The Indian arm, which will be based in Kolkata, will offer the full range of Outotec's technologies and services in an attempt to capitalise on the parent company's experience in the country through its predecessors Outokumpu and Lurgi Metallurgie.
Outotec has already hired 30 skilled professionals for sales, engineering and project services in India and other countries in the region.
"We will be able to derive maximum value from our Indian operations now that we have a full-fledged subsidiary here," Outotec India Managing Director Virendra Kaul said.
“We have established customer relationships in India and the new local operation in Kolkata improves our cooperation with Indian mining and metals companies. Now, the entire Outotec technology and service offering is easily available to our customers,” he added.
Recently, the firm's work in India has included deliveries of refinery technology to Anrak Aluminium, an iron ore pelletizing plant to Tata Steel and iron ore sintering plants to Bhushan Steel. In 2008, Outotec's sales in India were upwards of Euro 80 million.
