With the establishment of Brückner Textile India Pvt. Ltd., the Brückner Group, based in Leonberg, Germany, marks another important milestone in its long and successful company history.

All machines are still manufactured in Tittmoning, Bavaria, Germany, while sales, installation and service are handled by the newly formed local team in India.

Venkatesh Babu is responsible for sales across India, with a particular focus on the Eastern and Southern regions, while Mr. Vinod Kumar V. manages sales in the Northern and Western parts of the country. Together, this experienced team ensures close customer proximity, professional consultation and reliable support throughout India. With the foundation of Brückner Textile India Pvt.
