Australia-based global safety solutions company Ansell is investing approximately $60 million in India to establish a new manufacturing facility for surgical gloves, strengthening its long-term commitment to the Indian market, and expanding its manufacturing capabilities in the country.
The proposed facility is expected to cater to the growing demand for high-quality surgical gloves in India and international markets, while further strengthening Ansell’s supply chain and manufacturing footprint.
The investment reflects the company’s confidence in India’s healthcare and medical devices ecosystem and the country’s growing importance as a manufacturing destination. The new plant will add to Ansell’s existing operations in India and is expected to support the company’s efforts to serve customers across healthcare and other critical sectors.
India’s healthcare sector has witnessed increasing demand for medical consumables and protective products, driven by the expansion of healthcare infrastructure, rising awareness around infection prevention and the need for high-quality medical products. Ansell’s investment comes against this backdrop and is aligned with the broader growth of India’s medical manufacturing ecosystem.
The new manufacturing facility in Coimbatore is also expected to create opportunities for employment and contribute to the development of the local industrial ecosystem through associated supply-chain and ancillary activities. With this investment, Ansell continues to build on its presence in India while supporting the country’s ambitions to strengthen domestic manufacturing of critical healthcare and medical products.
