Wipro GE Healthcare currently operates four manufacturing plants in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, all of which focus on exports.

Wipro GE Healthcare is a joint venture between India’s Wipro Enterprises and a wholly owned entity of US-based GE Healthcare.

GE HealthCare president and CEO Peter J Arduini said: “India is a high potential, high priority market for GE HealthCare globally. In fact, we are among the first medtech companies to ‘Make in India – for India and the world’.

“We will continue to invest in expanding India’s domestic capabilities and its global footprint in medtech manufacturing and R&D. Today’s announcement is aligned with our strategic vision to deliver precision innovation globally and accelerate India’s position as medtech innovation and manufacturing hub for India and for world markets.”

Last year, GE HealthCare and Advantus Health Partners signed a multi-year agreement to expand access to healthcare technology management services.
