Yazaki Grows India Presence with Horizon Industrial Parks


Yazaki, a 17 billion USD legacy Japanese global auto parts giant, with presence in 46 countries, has expanded its India footprint with close to 1 million square feet across NCR, Hosur, and now Chennai. This has been done in collaboration with Horizon Industrial Parks, Blackstone’s logistics platform in India; known for its innovative plug and play manufacturing and warehousing facilities with over 50 million sq. ft. leasable area. Yazaki which employs around 3 lakh people worldwide and operates 12 plants in India has prioritised modernization, sustainability and safety with this collaboration.

Yazaki supplies wire harnesses to a majority of OEMs in India. This is Yazaki’s third plant with Horizon Industrial Parks. It is a built-to-suit manufacturing unit spanning 3.16 lakh square feet, which will be located in Horizon’s Chengalpattu Industrial Park, Chennai’s fast growing industrial hub. The wire harness manufacturing facility is designed for rooftop solar power and will be manned by 2000+ employees.

“With the new peripheral ring road connecting to the Chennai port, Chengalpattu is quickly evolving into a key manufacturing hub. Some major companies operating in the region include leading names from the information technology, chip manufacturing, electronics and automotive industries. A new SIDCO industrial estate at Kodur Village, announced in 2021, is set to further boost local industry.” said Urvish Rambhia, Director at Horizon Industrial Parks.

In addition, Yazaki has 2 more plants with Horizon, 2.6 lakh square feet plug and play facility in Horizon Industrial Park Hosur established in 2023 and similar sized plant in NCR at Farukhnagar. Both parks are benchmarks in sustainability and boast of Platinum ratings by Indian Green Building Council (IGBC).

Commenting on Yazaki’s growing partnership with Horizon, Mr P V Raju, CEO of Yazaki India said, “After evaluating several industrial developers, we chose to partner with Horizon, and they supported us in meeting our timely-delivery commitment to our customers by handing over the Hosur plant to us within 6 months. Like Yazaki, Horizon emphasizes quality infrastructure and gives us dust-free environment which is crucial for manufacturing high quality products. We feel assured about the safety of our close to 4200 employees working in Horizon’s Hosur and Farukhnagar parks.”
