Logitech Begins Local Manufacturing in India With Manesar Assembly Line

The company says local assembly will shorten supply chains, build local sourcing capacity, support future exports.

Overview

  • Logitech announced on Thursday, October 15, 2026 that manufacturing has started at a Manesar facility as a partner-run assembly line producing keyboards and webcams.
  • The initial operation is limited to high-volume items and is being run by a new, unnamed manufacturing partner whose identity the company declined to disclose for contractual reasons.
  • Logitech described the rollout as phased: stabilise assembly first, then increase local sourcing of components, and later expand to exporting products from India.
  • The company says the Manesar plant was designed to meet its global quality standards and does not expect immediate, significant price changes for customers in India.
  • The move complements Logitech’s existing R&D and development centre in Chennai and reflects a wider trend of tech firms localising production to speed delivery, strengthen supply chains, lower freight emissions, and create local technical jobs.
