Appel opens a branch and parts warehouse in Morbi (Gujarat)

Following its strong performance in 2016, Appel continued its growth trend in the first half of 2017. The Pavullo, Modena-based company specialising in industrial automation and electronics saw an especially sharp increase in orders of machines for calibre and flatness control of large-size tiles up to 1800x3600 mm.

While maintaining a strong presence in the Italian market, it is also receiving an increasing number of orders from overseas like the one from Simola Tiles, which will install a Calibro-Planar machine on its new line for large-size 1200x2400 mm tiles.

To guarantee a rapid response to local customers, Appel has established its own technical and commercial branch with a spare parts warehouse in Morbi (Gujarat) which will serve the Indian market and the Southeast Asian region. The opening of the Morbi branch is part of a broader programme to strengthen the company’s presence in international markets by creating a structure devoted to pre- and after-sales service and plant start-up.

Significant investments in technological innovation have also been made through Appel Tech, the division set up in 2014 to supply complete end-of-line solutions from dimensional control to the sorting and packaging line.
