ELGi introduces all-women production lines at ELGi Air Center

Elgi has introduced assembly lines with a 100% female workforce at the ELGi Air Center in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. Twenty young women are managing operations at the airend assembly line, encapsulated airend assembly line, and the ELGi new generation compressor top block assembly line, delivering over 150 airends and top blocks daily.

In line with ELGi’s focus on fostering a safe and healthy work environment, every woman working on the shop floor has received comprehensive first-aid training. Moreover, a dedicated occupational health center ensures immediate support whenever needed to prioritize their well-being, further promoting a safe and comfortable working environment.
