Marking 25 years of partnership, Husky reinforces its commitment to India with new investments, expanded capabilities, and smart solutions that align with the country’s sustainable manufacturing ambitions.

Husky Technologies recently hosted a two-day customer event in Chennai to commemorate 25 years of collaboration with the Indian market. “As we welcomed customers to our Chennai campus, we weren’t just celebrating 25 years of working together, we were demonstrating our intensified commitment to India's future,” said Bradley Selleck, Husky’s CEO. “Our customers in this region have expressed a need for responsive partners who are closer, faster, speak their native language, and can deliver innovative solutions enabling them to be more competitive. We’ve listened and the investments we’re developing deliver on these needs.”

Husky’s presence in India has significantly grown since selling its first system into the country in 1999. The company opened a flagship sales and service office in 2001, followed in 2009 with the groundbreaking of their Chennai manufacturing facility. In May 2023, Husky kicked off the next phase of expansion that culminated with the opening of a new Delhi office in November 2024. The company has now established additional capabilities in India, including a regional proactive monitoring center, enhanced service center, packaging development center, parts distribution center, and learning academy.

India’s ambitious sustainability mandates, which require 30 percent recycled plastic content in packaging by 2026 and 60 percent by 2029, create both challenges and opportunities for regional producers. Husky’s expanded presence supports customers in navigating these requirements through circular economy solutions.

“India has the foundation to emerge as a global leader in sustainable packaging with its unmatched scale, culture of innovation, forward-thinking policies, and unique socioeconomic conditions,” said Robert Domodossola, Husky’s President of Systems and Tooling. “The circular economy is the solution for balancing waste management with essential packaging needs. Our innovative technologies, packaging design expertise, and experience with processing recycled PET offer solutions that enable producers to meet recycled content requirements while achieving high performance and quality standards.”

Introduction of new global enterprise-level monitoring solution

A highlight of Husky’s customer event included an early preview of the company’s new Advantage+Enterprise solution, a global offering that builds on the success of the existing Advantage+EliteTM platform to deliver enterprise-wide operational insights.

Introduced in 2021 and currently supporting more than 1,100 contracts around the world, many of Husky’s customers have been using Advantage+Elite for single or multiple system monitoring. According to the company, those connected to Advantage+Elite experience significantly improved operational effectiveness, performance and part quality. Customers who employ Advantage+Elite across an entire factory experience even steeper improvements, the technology company claims. These observations are what led to the development of the new Advantage+Enterprise program.

“Our Advantage+Enterprise solution addresses critical challenges facing manufacturers both in India and globally,” said Tony Black, Husky’s President of Service. “We see that when customers employ the Advantage+ ecosystem across an entire plant or across a multi-factory enterprise, they gain powerful data visibility and enterprise-level insights that they previously never had access to. We’re excited to see how such holistic insights could be invaluable when addressing operational issues, such as bridging skilled labor gaps or introducing new recycled PET processing into an operation.”
