Poclain

Poclain moved the historic Comer pump plant from Gaggio to a state-of-the-art facility in Spilamberto, Italy, after investing 9 million euros to optimize quality, productivity and cleanliness. The move was reported on 14 November 2024.

Poclain is investing 1.3 million euros to set up a pump assembly line at its Pondicherry, India plant, part of adding local hydraulic pump production in the USA, China and India. The announcement was published on 14 November 2024.

Poclain opened a new factory in Spilamberto, Italy, as a center of excellence for axial piston pumps. The 7,500 square metre site adds 40% more machining and assembly capacity and supplies pump sister plants in North America and China.

Poclain installed two new machines at its Žiri plant in Slovenia, its main valve manufacturing site, making fine machining five times faster and improving flexibility.

Poclain invested $25 million in capital expenditure over two years at its Yorkville, Wisconsin plant, including a building extension and new motor and pump assembly line to meet demand.
