Netherlands-based global engineering leader Walraven, in strategic partnership with IMEA’s Hira Industries, has formally inaugurated its state-of-the-art Diamond Pipe Supports manufacturing facility in Pune, Maharashtra.
Operating under the joint venture Hira Walraven, the launch represents a significant milestone in bringing European-standard MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) installation technology directly into India’s booming infrastructure market.
Project Blueprint: The Pune Facility
The new facility has been engineered to transition local operations from imported supply lines into a fully localized, high-output manufacturing ecosystem.
- Location: Established within the high-growth industrial cluster of Khed City, Pune, spanning an initial manufacturing footprint of nearly 100,000 sq. ft.
- Operational Core: The factory is fully automated and equipped with world-class, high-speed machinery designed for precision component pressing and forming.
- Product Focus: Direct domestic fabrication of advanced engineered pipe supports, seismic bracing frameworks, and multi-use heavy-duty clamp systems under the premium Diamond Pipe Supports brand.
- Target Segments: High-spec infrastructure projects, including modern commercial real estate, data centers, major HVAC installations, plumbing setups, and industrial fire protection networks.
Strategic Rationale: Local Production for Global Standards
According to the company leadership, the expansion represents a deep synergy combining decades of European engineering intellectual property with robust regional manufacturing networks.
- “Made in India, Built for the World”: Led by Viren Pandya, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Diamond Pipe Supports, the facility will act as a primary manufacturing nexus. It will serve domestic Indian clients locally while seamlessly channeling high-quality exports to the broader GCC and APAC regions.
- Drastic Lead-Time Reductions: By localizing production lines, Hira Walraven eliminates international shipping delays and complex customs clearances for major domestic contractors, allowing real-time, just-in-time delivery to large-scale construction sites.
- Strict Certification Adherence: The plant features integrated quality-assurance and post-process testing rigs, ensuring that locally stamped support systems meet the strict international structural and safety certifications standard in Europe and the Middle East.
