Michelin India opened a Research and Development Laboratory in Manesar, Haryana, to expand its research and innovation capacity and strengthens its commitment to the mobility industry in the region.
The technology centre, inaugurated by Alexandre Ziegler, Ambassador of France to India, focuses on radial truck and bus tyre R&D and provides technical support to the company’s manufacturing facilities in Chennai, China and Thailand. The sprawling 3800-square-meter Materials test laboratory at Manesar is an essential resource, providing support to the company Technology Center in Gurgaon, said Michelin.
Ambassador Alexandre Ziegler said, “Our vibrant economic partnership with India is boosted by France’s leading companies such as Michelin which actively contribute to “Make in India” and bring research and development technology expertise here. Along with providing innovative products to India and other emerging markets in the region, this technology center will also help augment skilling, thus contributing to the Indian government’s National Skill Development Mission, a key parameter for global competitiveness for India.”
With an annual R&D budget of more than �700 million, Michelin has over 6,000 employees engaged in research, development and process engineering at Technology Centers in Europe, North America and Asia.

Establishing a Technology Center supported by amaterials testing laboratory is a demonstration of the high level of confidence that Michelin Group has for India and the business growth opportunities in the region. This laboratory will provide impetus to our established innovation capabilities in India and will assist with material research for more robust and fuel efficient truck and bus tyres.”
