Honeywell has added its sixth manufacturing facility in India with the inauguration of a plant in Vadodara, Gujarat. The plant will manufacture solar water heating systems for its Environmental and Combustion Controls (ECC) business, adding to other manufacturing facilities the business has in Chennai and Dehradun.

This business is part of Honeywell Automation India Ltd. The 50,000 sq ft Vadodara facility will manufacture solar water heating (SWH) systems for residential, commercial and industrial applications for the domestic market in India as well as for export to Southeast Asia and North Africa. It will manufacture 10 solar water heater variants of stainless steel and galvanised iron material ranging from 100 to 300 litres per day.

"Solar water heating technology is evolving as one of the most energy-efficient methods of heating water. The opening of this facility marks Honeywell's entry into the renewable energy product manufacturing, and adds to our already broad portfolio of energy focused products and technologies for customers worldwide," said Beth Wozniak, president, Honeywell Environmental and Combustion Controls, who was at Vadodara to officially launch the facility.
