Poppe + Potthoff GmbH and Lalbaba Engineering Limited open new joint venture plant in India

The German Poppe + Potthoff group (P+P) is expanding its global reach with the opening of a new joint venture plant in India. Under the name Indodeutsche Precision Tubes, an innovative partnership is being established in Badli (Haryana) with the Indian company Lalbaba Engineering Limited. The newly built plant will produce pre-materials for the manufacturing of precision steel tubes. India was chosen as the location due to the country’s high potential as a partner for forward-looking projects.

The joint venture expands the strategic direction of Poppe + Potthoff and enables the company to tap into new markets. “Through our collaboration with our Indian partner, we can incorporate innovative materials into our portfolio that were previously unavailable to us and not covered by other market participants,” explains Thorsten Ellersieck, Managing Director of Poppe + Potthoff Präzisionsstahlrohre GmbH. The expansion of the product range marks an important achievement in the history of the company. With the newly established joint venture, P+P is pursuing a sustainable and innovative course to further strengthen its position as a leading supplier of precision steel tubes for special applications.

Lalbaba Engineering Limited produces and supplies seamless steel tubes for use in various industries, including the railway, energy, and construction sectors. Thanks to its international orientation, the company has established itself as a reliable partner for customers worldwide.

An important milestone for the corporate group
