Sysmex Group’s New Manufacturing Base in India Begins Full-Scale Operations and Launches “Make in India” Products
Sysmex Corporation (HQ: Kobe, Japan; President: Kaoru Asano) announces today that its new manufacturing base in India, with production capabilities for both diagnostic reagents and instruments as the first of its kind for the Group, began full-scale operations in April 2025, and that the company has commenced manufacturing the XQ™-Series Automated Hematology Analyzer, (“XQ-320”) in the Indian market in response to the “Make in India” policy.
India is promoting the “Make in India” policy to foster economic growth, job creation, infrastructure, and technological innovation, and is implementing this policy into public procurement to favor domestically manufactured products. In response to this policy, Sysmex has achieved mass production of the XQ-320 at its new local manufacturing base, meeting the participation requirements for public procurement (local production and incorporation of local materials).
The XQ-320 is a compact and high-performance 3-part WBC differential model, specifically designed for small and medium-sized medical institutions that are often the focus of public procurement. Through various initiatives, including the selection of local material suppliers that meet Sysmex’s quality standards and the training of local staff, we have established a mass production system for Indian-made products that assures Sysmex quality. With an eye on future demand for upgrading to 5-part WBC differential models, we aim to expand the market share of 3-part WBC differential models.
The new manufacturing base boasts the largest total floor area of all the Sysmex Group’s manufacturing bases outside Japan and produces both diagnostic reagents and instruments. It has become the Group’s second largest overseas instrument production base after the one in China, and the production capacity for diagnostic reagents has increased approximately four-fold compared to the existing local factory. Additionally, the new base is equipped with a zero liquid discharge system*, ensuring thorough environmental consideration.
These enhancements will strengthen the stable supply of products to the Indian market, improve customer satisfaction, and aim to accelerate business expansion.
Sysmex will continue to shape the advancement of healthcare in the Indian market and pursue initiatives to achieve sustainable growth. Going forward, Sysmex will continue to rapidly advance the establishment of manufacturing structures to ensure the stable delivery of products to customers around the world.
