Elgi Equipments has introduced assembly lines staffed entirely by a female workforce at the ELGi Air Centre in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The group manages operations delivering over 150 air ends and top blocks daily.
A statement by the company said, “Twenty women employees would be managing the air-end assembly line, encapsulated air-end assembly line, and the ELGi new generation compressor top block assembly line at the company’s ELGi Air Centre in Coimbatore.”
The cohort underwent a three-year technical training programme, comprising modules on machining, welding, electrical work, engineering, and production technologies at ELGi Vocational Training School. The candidates were directly recruited at the facility.
Reports also said the facility automated assembly lines to ensure an inclusive and efficient working environment. Elgi also stated that they prioritize safety by providing first-aid training and access to occupational health support.
