According to a company release, this addition expands the MET City family to over 570 companies from 10 countries, solidifying its position as a premier business destination in India.
BEUMER Group plans a substantial investment exceeding 2 billion Rupees in this cutting-edge facility, which is set to provide employment opportunities for 750 individuals. The ground-breaking and stone-laying ceremony for BEUMER India's new state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in MET City marks a significant milestone.
The event signifies MET City's ongoing commitment to providing top-tier, sustainable infrastructure that attracts multinational companies to establish their presence in Haryana and across India.
BEUMER Group, a global leader in material handling solutions, has aligned with the "Atmanirbhar Bharat" initiative, furthering its growth trajectory with this new facility. The ceremony saw the participation of senior representatives from BEUMER Group and MET City, highlighting the strong ties between the two entities.
This new facility not only strengthens BEUMER India's global footprint but also boosts the local economy by supporting small businesses in and around MET City. MET City has rapidly emerged as one of India's largest integrated greenfield Smart Cities, offering a dynamic environment that spans diverse geographies and industries.
Its core philosophy centres on creating a destination that attracts investment, generates modern employment opportunities and develops world-class urban infrastructure for its residents.
The city hosts companies from various sectors, including defence, engineering, electronics, auto components, medical devices, FMCG, footwear, plastics, and consumer products, making it a hub of economic activity and innovation.

Additionally, MET City hosts six South Korean companies and several European firms, with BEUMER India being the latest European addition.
BEUMER Group has been an active participant in India's economy since 2003, evolving from serving solely the cement industry to diversifying into multiple sectors. The company has made strategic acquisitions in India, such as ENEXCO Technologies and FAM India, to enhance its product offerings and customer experience.
BEUMER India already operates a modern manufacturing unit in Naurangpur, Haryana, and the expanding customer base prompted the need for a new facility to meet growing demand.
MET City's state-of-the-art plug-and-play infrastructure made it the strategic choice for BEUMER India's new plant, ensuring seamless coordination with its existing Naurangpur facility and efficient logistics management.
The construction of BEUMER India's new facility is expected to be completed by 2025, with plans to commission it by September 2025.
