Haleon, a consumer company that is solely focused on better everyday health, announced plans to establish its first manufacturing facility in India; a state-of-the-art greenfield site at Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh. Spread across more than 40 acres in the Smart Industrial Park, the facility marks a significant investment in India’s consumer health sector and reinforces Haleon’s long-term commitment to the country as a strategic growth market.

The announcement was made in the presence of Dr Mohan Yadav, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh; Brian McNamara, Chief Executive Officer, Haleon; Kedar Lele, CEO India and President India Subcontinent, Haleon and Namrata Patel, Chief Supply Chain Officer, Haleon.

The new manufacturing site will serve as a key enabler for Haleon’s growth in India, strengthening supply chain resilience, driving domestic value addition, and supporting export to wider Asia.

Aligned with the Government’s ‘Make in India’ vision, the investment is expected to generate broad-based economic value over the next decade, enhancing export competitiveness, contributing to state revenues, and integrating India further into global supply chains.  

Announcing the investment, Brian McNamara, CEO, Haleon, said, “India is a key strategic market for Haleon and an important driver of our long-term growth. This investment strengthens our local manufacturing footprint and expands our reach in one of the world’s fastest-growing consumer health markets. By increasing access to our trusted brands and building our capabilities on the ground, we are well positioned to capture the significant opportunities ahead.

We aim to expand access to better everyday health for more than 300 million additional consumers in India. This will be key to achieving our broader ambition to reach one billion more consumers globally by 2030.”

Our investment in this new site will bring us closer to consumers, strengthen access to our brands, and support sustainable long-term growth. We are grateful for the strong partnership and support from the Government of Madhya Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (MPIDC) in enabling this investment. As demand for trusted everyday health solutions continues to grow, this facility will enhance our ability to serve consumers across India and global markets, particularly in Oral Health, while reinforcing our commitment to making everyday health more accessible to millions.”
