INDEX Launches New Technology Hub in Bengaluru

The INDEX Group with its worldwide technological leading CNC turning machines under the INDEX and TRAUB brands, opened its new branch with an integrated Technology Center in the Aerospace Park, Bangalore, on 27 February 2026. With this step, the company is intensifying its presence in one of the most dynamic industrial markets in Asia. The location, only about 15 minutes from Bangalore Airport, offers ideal conditions for enhanced customer support and fast service response times in the Indian market.​

The new branch has office space for sales, technology, application, customer service and administration as well as a spacious showroom with modern demonstration machines. This showroom serves as a meeting place for customer events, test machining, and product presentations and thus represents a significant expansion of the previous offering. Under the leadership of Managing Director Wilson Thomas, INDEX is sending a clear signal of long-term investment in the Indian market and of a strategy focused on customer proximity.

The INDEX Group has been active in India with sales and service for more than 25 years. After the founding of INDEX Machine Tools India Pvt. Ltd. in 2023, this modern, well-equipped branch has now been implemented to serve the growing demands of Indian industry even better. With multi-spindle automatic lathes, universal turning machines, sliding-headstock automatic lathes, turn-mill centers, and production turning machines, the group of companies offers a broad range of manufacturing solutions – always with the ambition to develop the optimal solution for the customer’s specific requirements. Particular strengths lie in application consulting, process optimization, as well as comprehensive automation solutions and services. This makes INDEX the preferred partner for companies in the automotive and supplier industry, aerospace, mechanical engineering, electronics, as well as hydraulic and fluid technology.​

For Wilson Thomas, Managing Director of INDEX Machine Tools India Pvt. Ltd., the new opportunities at the Bangalore site mark a milestone: “The Indian market is of great importance for the growth strategy of the INDEX Group. With our new Technology Center, we can now support our customers even more comprehensively – from consulting and test machining through to technical support. This significantly shortens decision-making paths and creates the basis for even closer partnerships with Indian industrial companies.”​

From the company headquarters in Esslingen, Dirk Prust, Chairman of the Management Board, also emphasizes: “The opening of the Technology Center in Bangalore is a sign of our confidence in the Indian market and of our conviction that genuine customer proximity cannot be replaced by video conferences. With six production sites and a global presence, we can combine global expertise with local competence – this is exactly what this new location enables.”​
