The Innovation Hub will act as a catalyst for regional and global growth by strengthening R&D capabilities, enhancing collaboration with customers and partners, and contributing to Sandvik’s broader innovation agenda.
“The inauguration of our India Innovation Hub marks an important step in strengthening our global innovation ecosystem. India is a key strategic market for us, not only for its scale but for its exceptional talent pool and growing influence in digital transformation.

The hub will play a critical role in accelerating our business strategy and expanding our capabilities in intelligent manufacturing,” says Mattias Nilsson, President, Business Area Intelligent Manufacturing at Sandvik.
