Computer peripherals maker Logitech has officially started manufacturing products locally in India at assembly unit in Manesar, Haryana. The Swiss-American hardware company, listed on both the Nasdaq and the SIX Swiss Exchange, announced on Thursday that the domestic facility will assemble workspace hardware for Indian buyers. Production starts immediately with high-demand devices, specifically focusing on webcams and computer pointing devices such as mice. The factory setup relies on partnerships with Indian manufacturing vendors, tying into the central government’s Make in India initiative.
Key Takeaways
- Logitech begins local manufacturing and assembly operations in Manesar, Haryana.
- Initial assembly lines will produce webcams and pointing devices like computer mice.
- The facility operates through partnerships with domestic Indian contract manufacturers.
- Shorter supply routes aim to cut turnaround times, lower freight emissions, and improve product availability.
- The new site complements the company’s existing research and software hub in Chennai.
The shift toward domestic assembly follows sharp growth in Indian computer adoption. Internal industry numbers cited by the company show India recorded nearly 970 million internet subscriptions and annual personal computer shipments of almost 16 million units in 2025. Until now, the company imported most retail merchandise sold in India. By setting up lines inside Haryana, the company avoids long overseas cargo routes, speeds up warehouse restocking, and shields regional inventory from international shipping delays.
The Manesar site joins Logitech’s established Indian corporate setup, which includes sales distribution networks and a Global Capability Center in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. While the Chennai center focuses on engineering design, artificial intelligence software, and hardware development, the Haryana plant handles direct physical assembly and packaging.
Sree Chenincherry, chief supply chain operations officer at Logitech, stated that building a domestic manufacturing footprint brings the brand closer to local buyers while cutting order turnaround times. Delphine Donne, vice president and general manager of personal work solutions, noted that Indian buyers represent an expanding market for desktop workspace gear, making local supply channels practical. Company executives Polina Anokhina and Manoj Sahay also attended the launch event in New Delhi.
Beyond speed, localized supply helps reduce overall carbon emissions from freight because assembled products travel shorter distances from plant to shop shelves. The Manesar operations will also hire domestic technical staff, creating jobs in plant supervision, quality testing, and parts procurement across north India’s industrial belt.
