In a strategic move to bolster their global operations and tap into India’s robust engineering talent pool, Japanese engineering leaders TOYO Engineering Corporation and MODEC, Inc. have launched a Global Capability Center (GCC) in Bengaluru. The new venture, named TOYO MODEC OFS India Pvt. Ltd. (OFS India), is poised to become a key delivery engine for Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) projects around the world.
Joint Venture for Global Engineering Excellence
The new entity is a collaboration between Toyo Engineering India Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of TOYO Japan, and Offshore Frontier Solutions Pte. Ltd., part of the MODEC Group. The joint venture aims to leverage India’s engineering expertise to deliver scalable, innovative, and high-quality solutions for the offshore energy sector.
Located in Godrej Centre, Indiranagar, the expansive 100,000-square-foot facility currently houses 200 professionals and is projected to grow to a 750-member workforce within the next three years. The center will be involved in engineering, procurement, and project execution for FPSO systems.
Leadership Speaks: Commitment to Innovation and Global Value
At the launch ceremony, Mr. Eiji Hosoi, President & CEO of TOYO Japan, highlighted the strategic significance of the collaboration:
“This partnership reflects our shared vision of innovation and value creation through global cooperation. OFS India is central to achieving those ambitions.”
