DN Solutions Co., Ltd., the world’s No. 3 and Korea’s No. 1 machine tool company, has broken ground on a new plant in Bangalore, India, and successfully conducted a large-scale recruitment drive for university graduate engineers, signaling smooth progress in its localization efforts in India.
In August, DN Solutions held a groundbreaking ceremony at the new plant site in the ITIR (Information Technology Investment Region) industrial complex near Bangalore International Airport. The event was attended by more than 50 people, including DN Solutions India managing director Young-sam Kim, employees, and partner company representatives, who wished for safety and zero accidents during the construction period.
With the construction of the new plant, DN Solutions plans to significantly strengthen its production capacity in India and accelerate its localization strategy. The new plant is scheduled to be completed and begin mass production in the first half of 2026. It will produce locally customized products, including the SVM 4100i vertical machining center, which has received strong positive feedback from Indian customers.
In early July, DN Solutions carried out its largest-ever recruitment drive for university graduate engineers since entering the Indian market, thereby expanding its workforce. The new recruits, with an average age of 22, majored in mechanical engineering and electrical/electronic engineering at leading universities in Bangalore and Karnataka. They are expected to grow into key technical personnel of the new plant and play a central role in local development and production systems.
Earlier this year, DN Solutions announced a mid- to long-term strategy for the Indian market, which included establishing a new plant and an R&D center in Bangalore, with plans to hire more than 500 people locally by 2032.
India, with the world’s largest population and high economic growth, is emerging as a key hub of global manufacturing. Active investments are underway in sectors with high demand for machine tools, such as automobiles, electronics, and energy infrastructure, while the Indian government is also actively fostering manufacturing and attracting foreign direct investment.
Bangalore, where DN Solutions’ new plant and R&D center are being built, has abundant high-level talent in advanced manufacturing, automation, IT, and basic science. Global manufacturers, including Foxconn, are expanding production bases there, and Korean companies are also entering actively. About one-quarter of India’s machine tool companies are concentrated in Bangalore.
“With the groundbreaking of our new plant and the recruitment of young talent, DN Solutions has become even closer to Indian manufacturing,” said DN Solutions CEO Won-jong Kim. “We will continue striving to be a company that contributes to the prosperity of India’s manufacturing industry.”
