Honeywell has added its sixth manufacturing facility in India with the inauguration of a plant in Vadodara, Gujarat. The plant will manufacture solar water heating systems for its Environmental and Combustion Controls (ECC) business, adding to other manufacturing facilities the business has in Chennai and Dehradun.

This business is part of Honeywell Automation India Ltd. The 50,000 sq ft Vadodara facility will manufacture solar water heating (SWH) systems for residential, commercial and industrial applications for the domestic market in India as well as for export to Southeast Asia and North Africa.
