Dell helps build a complete eco-system wherever the company's manufacturing facilities are set up, and the start of a Dell plant in Tamil Nadu implies the arrival of additional IT suppliers in the state to deliver the key advantages of the Dell direct model. In fact, in addition to Dell's 50-acre site, another 100 acres have been set aside in the Sriperumbudur Hi-Tech Park for this purpose.

 

According to Mr. Thompson, "Sriperumbudur is ideally located and has an exceptional work force. We are very appreciative of the forward looking and pro-business approach of both the state administration and the Union IT ministry that make it simple for industry to set up a new venture here. We trust that India's fiscal policies will continue to evolve further and support greater IT penetration in the country. This plant adds to Dell's considerable manufacturing presence around the world and will help support the company's India growth."

 

"The opportunity for Dell in India is very exciting and we continue to grow from strength to strength. We are already a Rs. 1800 Crores [approximately $ 400 million] business and the No. 1 systems provider to the large corporate customers, and we will address the entire market more effectively with this new plant. We believe Dell's manufacturing team is the best in the world and we are confident this will open huge opportunities in India's rupee-based market to us,' said Dell's Mr. Anandan.

 

Dell has already commenced hiring for the new plant. The jobs that Dell plans for the region will provide career paths with a company known as much for its team-driven leadership in process innovation as for its track record of success.

 

Globally, the company manufactures its computer systems in seven locations: Austin, Texas; Nashville, Tenn.; Winston-Salem, N.C. and Eldorado do Sul, Brazil (Americas); Limerick, Ireland (Europe, Middle East and Africa); and Penang, Malaysia, and Xiamen, China (Asia-Pacific and Japan). A second South American production site is currently under construction in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The Company has also recently announced its plans to set up manufacturing in Lodz, Poland.
