Copeland Starts First Scroll Compressor Production in India at Atit

Copeland has become the first company to manufacture scroll compressors in India. Production of the technology has been running in Atit since December 2025, following the expansion of the site's manufacturing capabilities.

The Atit expansion is part of a broader investment initiative Copeland announced in 2024, which also encompasses enhanced engineering and innovation capabilities in Pune. Ross B. Shuster, Copeland's Chief Executive Officer, described India as an important strategic market with a strong economy and continued growth in the HVACR sector. He noted that the company's ₹500 crore investment into India operations reflects its commitment to local customers and builds on the expertise, talent, and capabilities already present in the country.

The locally manufactured scroll portfolio covers:

• Fixed-speed and variable-speed scroll compressors
• Applications across residential, commercial, and cold chain segments
• Reduced lead times, increased flexibility, and greater customization to meet customer requirements

Jagadish Keswani, President for India, Middle East & Africa at Copeland, stated that the continued investment supports the "Make in India" vision and builds on the expertise of India-based colleagues. He added that combining advanced engineering and innovation in Pune with expanded manufacturing in Atit brings high-efficiency technologies closer to customers and enables the development of solutions for India and markets around the world.

Copeland will showcase these products at RefCold India in November, where the company will feature its cold chain technologies and solutions.
