Swedish white goods major AB Electrolux has identified India as a sourcing base for components used in its outdoor division which makes garden and forestry equipment like lawn mowers and lawn tractors. The company currently sources $9 billion worth of parts, of which 30 per cent will be sourced from the Asia-Pacific, including India, a statement said. A 20-member team from the company’s operations in Sweden, North America and Asia-Pacific will be in India for the national vendor selection and sourcing meet being organised here later this month. This July the company had set up a national purchasing office in Gurgaon to source raw materials, components and finished goods for its global manufacturing operations.
