Global strength in the SME sector: Bell India receives German economic delegation

This week, an economic delegation from Germany, led by Saxony’s Minister of Economic Affairs, Dirk Panter, visited our site in Sri City, India. The facility is an important part of our international network and was recognized as a strong example of how medium-sized industrial companies from Saxony successfully operate on a global scale.

At our Sri City site, Bell EMEAI produces flavours and fragrances tailored specifically to the needs of the Indian market. Key applications include food and beverages, cosmetics, and home care. With state-of-the-art technology, local teams, and short decision paths, we create proximity to our customers while upholding our commitment to quality and sustainability.

Our roots are in Saxony, but our perspective is global. With our Sri City site, we are strengthening our presence in the Indian market. Here, we develop flavours and fragrances that reflect the diversity of the country.

Holger Wetzler, CEO

The visit acknowledged Bell as an ambassador of Saxony’s industrial expertise and as a prime example of successful internationalization from within the SME sector. The combination of experience, foresight, and responsibility makes Bell one of the flagships of Saxony’s economy – demonstrating that strong roots are the best foundation for global growth.

Saxony stands for companies that succeed worldwide with ingenuity and quality. Bell impressively demonstrates how a medium-sized enterprise from Leipzig combines sustainable growth with international presence. India is one of the most dynamic markets in the world. Those who succeed here think globally while understanding local needs, and Bell exemplifies exactly that.
