Kluber products find application in a wide variety of machinery. India’s well established manufacturing base and expected annual growth of over 12 per cent in the manufacturing sector over the next ten years, make it a very attractive market for the company.This was the key consideration for Klüber Lubrications to invest in India, and the performance in recent years has vindicated this. From revenues of US$ 2.11 million in 2003 the company expects to achieve US$ 5.65 million in 2006, a CAGR of 71 per cent.The company now considers the Indian operations critical to its global strategy.

In fact, the key challenge for the company today is scaling up in terms of capacity and human capital to address the growth opportunity the market has to offer.
