Mather and Platt Pumps (M+P), the subsidiary of Germany based pumps
manufacturer Wilo, is expanding its operation across the country and is
investing Rs 150 crore at its sites in Pune and Kolhapur in Maharashtra.
M+P in April 2010 is likely to open a new Rs 100-crore plant in Kolhapur for
manufacturing the Wilo range of pumps for the domestic market and the Mather and
Platt range for Wilo’s global requirements. With the start of production at
Kolhapur, the existing M+P plant at Chinchwad near Pune is expected to focus on
the manufacture of engineered products.
