MSI Syrma SGS: MSI joins hands with Syrma SGS to manufacture laptops for Indian market

Electronics systems design and manufacturing company Syrma SGS Technology on Friday said it was set to be Taiwanese laptop maker MSI’s manufacturing partner in India to produce laptops for the Indian market. The company said that through this strategic collaboration, Syrma SGS will assemble laptops for MSI at its Chennai facility.

“India has always been a key market for MSI, and as we continue to expand our presence here, it’s important for our products to remain globally competitive while being locally produced. With this vision, our partnership with Syrma SGS marks a significant step forward in our ‘Make in India’ initiative, bringing our fan-favourite laptops closer to Indian consumers,” John Hung, India NB General Manager from MSI said in a statement.

MSI and Syrma SGS are looking at a phased approach to localise manufacturing for MSI in India through this alliance, starting with the assembly of laptops. It will involve a technology transfer from MSI which will then be coupled with Syrma SGS’ scalable manufacturing process.

“Being MSI’s Indian manufacturing partner, not only bolsters our IT hardware manufacturing portfolio but also underscores our ability to deliver high-quality, innovative solutions that meet the needs of global leaders. Together, we aim to bring cutting-edge, locally produced laptops to Indian consumers while setting new benchmarks for quality and innovation in the industry,” Satendra Singh, CEO, Syrma SGS Technology said.

With over four decades of experience, Syrma SGS offers a diverse portfolio that includes memory, SSDs, motherboards, power adapters, and full systems integration. The company is a IT hardware PLI approved manufacturer.
