SSD Drives India Pvt. Ltd.
In 2002 Eurotherm plc UK sold their drives business worldwide. The new global company was re-christened as SSD Drives and the responsibility for the drives business in India was entrusted to UNIDEL’s wholly owned company, SSD Drives India Pvt., Ltd. SSD Drives India is a leading provider of factory automation solutions with a number one position in several end user markets. In early 2007, UNIDEL sold its shareholding in SSD Drives India to Parker Hannifin Corporation USA.
