Bühler opens color sorter manufacturing facility in India
INDIA – Bühler India has launched its state-of-the-art color sorter manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, India, offering world-class, locally manufactured products to customers in the region, as a part of its “Make in India” initiative.
The optical sorters are validated by Bühler SORTEX experts in the UK and all applicable spare parts, and new services for customers will be hosted in the facility, reducing customer delivery times and increasing supply chain efficiency.

Carmen Schlatter Broger, Head of Business Area Digital Technologies, Bühler India said that India is an important market for color sorting and Buhler starting a local production of its high-tech machines in the region is an important milestone for the company.
The strategic decision to add color sorting equipment is set to lead Bühler on a new journey to create technological innovations and maintain product leadership while providing competitive solutions.
This would enable the grains and food industry in India to have easy access to the latest technologies in color sorting which would directly contribute to food quality and safety.
Addressing the “Make in India” initiative, Prashant Gokhale, Managing Director, Bühler India, said, “Under the ‘Make in India’ initiative it is a proud moment for us to launch an optical color sorter manufactured from our facility in Bengaluru.
This would enable the grains and food industry in India to have easy access to the latest technologies in color sorting which would directly contribute to food quality and safety.”
Divya Purohit, Head of Business Grains & Food, Bühler India, is looking forward to newer associations this strategic move will bring. “The high precision color sorters made in India will help our customers to produce the best quality of rice which will further forge our relationship with them.
