Frankfurt/Main, Germany – halm, a leading provider of advanced IV testers and solar simulators for the photovoltaic industry, today announced the establishment of halm elektronik India PVt Ltd, a new subsidiary in Pune, India. The new entity is slated to be fully operational by Q1 2026 and marks a significant step in the company's global expansion strategy.
This strategic move is a direct response to the rapid and sustained growth of the solar energy market in India. As India continues to expand its renewable energy capacity, the demand for high-quality components, reliable machinery, and local expertise has surged. halm aims to meet this demand by establishing a strong local presence.
The new Indian subsidiary will serve as a central hub for service and customer support in the region. A key focus will be on providing enhanced local support to Indian customers, including faster response times for service requests and a dedicated local warehouse for spare and wear parts. This will significantly reduce lead times and improve the operational efficiency of customers' production lines.
A team of local experts, trained and supported by an experienced specialist from the German headquarters, will lead the Indian subsidiary. This guarantees service that is both highly responsive to regional needs and consistent with halm's uncompromising global quality standards.
Moritz Meixner, Managing Director of halm stated: "India represents one of the most dynamic and promising solar markets in the world, and this expansion is a crucial milestone for us. Our goal is not just to sell our products, but to be a true partner to our customers. By establishing a local presence, we can provide the on-the-ground support, service, and spare parts availability that is essential for their success. We are committed to contributing to India's renewable energy future."
The opening of the Indian subsidiary builds on halm's long-standing success in the Asia-Pacific region. The company has operated a successful subsidiary in Suzhou, China, for many years, which has been instrumental in supporting the East Asian market. The new Indian entity is the next logical step in strengthening the company's global footprint and commitment to its customers in Asia.
