Complementing the manufacturing expansion, Ammann India also inaugurated a 10,000 sq ft. ABG parts warehouse with an additional 2,000+ sq. ft. for staging operations. Equipped with advanced material handling systems, 8-level racking for 1,800 SKUs, and the capacity to handle up to 1,200 kg per shelf, the facility is designed for fast parts availability, optimised material flow, reduced delivery times, and improved service response for ABG customers.

Commenting on the developments, Panda said, “The roll-out of the first ABG Paver from Ditasan and the commissioning of a dedicated warehouse are strong testaments to our commitment to localization, operational excellence, and customer service. These milestones will accelerate our ABG growth journey in India and boost our capabilities as a global manufacturing and export hub.”
