3M is building a new research and development facility in Bangalore, India, that will focus on producing products “in India, for India.”
The Minnesota-based manufacturer has five manufacturing plants in India, the Hindu Business Line reported earlier this year.
“Building this new innovation lab is part of our growth strategy for India,” Inge Thulin, executive vice president of 3M’s international operations, said in the company’s statement.
The facility is expected to be finished by the fourth quarter of 2010.
