H&V plans to establish manufacturing capacity in India

Hollingsworth & Vose Co plans to form a joint venture with the Nath Group to establish a manufacturing capability in India. The plan includes construction of a new mill near Aurangabad, Maharashtra. The investment will be financed by both companies, with H&V being the majority owner and managing partner. Warehousing facilities will also be established during the planning and construction period to better serve customers currently importing H&V products. The mill will produce highest standards of water and solvent based engine filter media, as well as selected products for HVAC filtration and battery separator applications.
