OSG entered India in 2005 with the hiring of its first employee in Chennai, the southernmost state of India. Since its debut in Chennai, OSG has been dedicated to offering high-quality and high-performance tooling solutions to Indian consumers.

Its headquarters and factory have relocated from Chennai to Gurgaon in northern India; a second factory was established in Pune, western Indian; a third factory in Chennai is scheduled for full operation later in 2025.
“India is experiencing rapid economic growth and employee turnover is high, but the average length of service for our managers is 13 years, and 24 employees have been with us for over 10 years in our 20-year history, which are key to the expansion of OSG India,” said Kenny Yoshikawa, Managing Director of OSG India.
