Yanmar begins production of industrial machinery in India

Yanmar Engine Manufacturing India Pvt Ltd (YEMI) Announces launch of production at its new state-of-the-art industrial machinery plant located at Origins Industrial Estate in the State of Tamil Nadu, India.

The plant will initially manufacture machinery for Yanmar-branded tractors manufactured by International Tractors Limited (a Yanmar joint venture) and other OEMs in the agricultural and construction industries.
