New Delhi. 19 November, 2015. Rockwell Collins has opened a new, expanded facility in Bangalore, India, that bolsters the company’s presence in the country.
“The opening is a reflection of our commitment to India, as well as the increasing demand for services from our India Design Center (IDC) in Hyderabad,” said Sunil Raina, managing director of Rockwell Collins India. “We chose Bangalore because of the high concentration of engineering talent there and the fact that it is an aerospace hub.”
Rockwell Collins announced it has signed a 15-year lease for the Bangalore building, which will initially house 30 employees. The company expects that number to reach 100 in just one year of operation.
The opening marks the continued expansion in India for Rockwell Collins as its growing economy and aerospace industry continues to present new opportunities for the company.
