Israel-India > Business Guide > 2025 Baccara Starts Production in India In the latter half of 2024 , we began valve assembly operations for smaller valves ( 3 / 4 ” and 1 ”) from components that were shipped from Israel. Having built an impressive assembly and testing operation, with proven quality assurance, we will take our next significant steps for Baccara India in 2025 . In the first quarter, all injection molding of the irrigation valves up to 2 ” diameter will be done in India and those products will be fully manufactured in India, for the Indian market. For most of the products, production capacity in Israel will bemaintained andwe will have “spare” molds, as part of our BCP (Business Continuity Plan). Baccara India to Help Company Be Globally Competitive We believe that the Indianmarket for 1 ½” and 2 ” valves will continue to grow and become the world’s largest, as the government continues to support large-scale irrigation automation projects. Baccara plans to be a viable competitor for a significant share of that business. Indian manufacturing will also allow us to be more competitive in all markets globally. I n 2022 , Baccara India Pvt. Ltd. was established in Pune in the Indian State of Maharashtra. The operation is part of our Asia-Pacific Division which is headed by Shlomi Atash, who is based in Melbourne, Australia, and like all Baccara subsidiaries, is 100 % owned by Baccara. Initially established as a sales and distribution office, it was always clear to us that manufacturing operations will follow, based on our belief that to succeed in the Indian market, we need to manufacture in India. Baccara India of course serves the requirements of customers in manufacturing industry, but the overwhelming majority of sales are in the very rapidly growing market for automation in agricultural irrigation. Until 2024 , all our irrigation valves for sale in India were shipped from Israel, with long lead times and high logistical costs. Indian manufacturing enables Baccara to be globally competitive Baccara India serves the manufacturing industry, but the majority of its clients are in the rapidly growing market for agricultural irrigation automation.
