Inaugration
Delhi, Feb 8, 2017: India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and offers immense potential for the cold chain industry. The government has enabled growth by taking many steps in this direction - promoting cold chain infrastructure by encouraging adoption of environmentally responsible and energy efficient technologies, while also enabling skill development to support the industry.
Emerson received an overwhelming response from the key Industry stakeholders for its First Cold Chain Center located at Chakan, Pune. Encouraged by this success Emerson opened its new Cold Chain Center at Gurgaon, to be close to its customers in North India.
This center provides expert project design services to end users, contractors and consultants. From heat load calculations to customized refrigeration solutions, Emerson’s team works to ensure that the cold storage project is optimally designed. These services cater to the wide range of cold storage facilities such as fresh produce collection centers, pack-houses, fruit processing, dairy, logistics warehouses and retail. The Gurgaon center also offers practical hands on training covering a wide range of topics along with live equipment, simulation and solutions in action.
Speaking on this special occasion, Mr. Hakan Erdamar, president Asia and Middle East & Africa, for Emerson’s Commercial & Residential Solutions platform said, “Emerson has an unmatched array of products and solutions to support the Cold Chain Industry. Our value proposition of offering the best-in-class global technologies, customized locally for the India Cold Chain market, places us in a unique position to serve the industry in an optimal manner. We are delighted to meaningfully contribute to the development of the Cold Chain segment in India”
It is recognized that strong cold chain infrastructure leveraging highly energy efficient technologies and intelligent solutions will be vital to preserve food quality and minimize food wastage in India. Raising awareness levels through training and ensuring strong lifecycle support will act as catalysts for scaling up the Cold Chain Infrastructure in the country.
Speaking at the launch, Mr. Sridar Narayanswami, vice president and managing director of India, for Emerson’s Commercial & Residential Solutions platform, said, “North India is the largest region for Cold Chain with presence of key industry players across farm to fork. Several nodal agencies are based in this region. We are pleased to open this fully equipped facility to provide training, design services and technical support to our customers and partners.”
