Ericsson

Making in India

After designing more than twenty offices for Ericsson in India and East Asia, Via Design was assigned to design Ericsson India’s manufacturing center to a new, state of the art custom designed facility in Maharashtra. A part of a sprawling industrial estate in Chakan, located close to the city of Pune, the Ericsson facility is a part of an emerging manufacturing hub that includes majors such as Mercedez Benz & Amway.

The facility, laid out over a 7.2 acre (29,145 Sq.M) plot, comprises the core production and warehouse spaces covering an approximate area of 14,500 Sq.M. An administrative building covering 1,975 Sq.M provides world class meeting, conferencing, training & dining facilities for the complex. The manufacturing block covers an area of 5000 Sq.M in a clean room environment along with specialized fire fighting controls designed for specialized electronic equipment. The warehousing unit spans 9500 Sq.M with electrostatically static dissipative floor and its soaring 12 m high ceiling with natural light pouring in through skylights adds a dramatic flair to the space.

Standout Feature

The premises have been designed to USGBC LEED Gold rating standards and the complex puts into action Ericsson’s well renowned commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
