Hewlett Packard starts manufacturing operations at Flex’s Sriperumbudur facility

Tech major HP on Wednesday said it has started manufacturing operations at contract electronics manufacturer Flex Ltd’s facility at Sriperumbudur near Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

HP, which already has its own manufacturing plant in Pantnagar district of Uttarakhand since 2006, said the latest expansion is a part of the company’s “long-term commitment to the Indian market”.

HP, however, did not disclose details about investment and capacity under the contract manufacturing arrangement with Flex.

“The plant will manufacture desktops and workstations that enable HP to meet current and future customer needs while driving greater operational efficiency. Its geographical location provides it access to a nearby port and HP’s spare parts facility in Bengaluru,” a company statement said.
