Tech company HP has begun PC manufacturing operations at Flex’s facility, located in Sriperumbudur near Chennai, Tamil Nadu. This expansion is a part of HP’s long-term commitment to the Indian market and this plant will manufacture desktops and workstations.


So far, HP has been manufacturing at its own plant in Pantnagar, Uttarakhand since 2006 and the latest move is a part of the company's expansion plan.

“HP, a long-standing partner in India’s digital transformation journey, is committed to providing technology that can enable people and businesses of India to achieve their true potential,” said Ketan Patel, Managing Director, HP India Market.

“With the inauguration of this new facility, we aim to strengthen our commitment to India and support the growth of the local manufacturing ecosystem,” he added.

The company says that this facility provides easy access to a nearby port in Bengaluru for HP’s spare parts facility. HP plans to procure materials from other parts of India and from Asia.

“We are delighted to partner with HP to manufacture desktops and workstations in India. We look forward to bringing our advanced manufacturing capabilities along with our supply chain expertise to this engagement,” said Richard Hopkins, Senior Vice President, India Operations at Flex.

HP has not disclosed the capacity or investment details of this new collaboration with Flex.



According to research firm IDC, HP ranked number one with 25 percent share for the Traditional PC market in the second quarter of 2020 (2Q20) globally.
