Align Technology, Inc. announced plans to open a new manufacturing facility in Hyderabad, India in 2027, create more than 300 direct jobs, and spend approximately USD 200 million in both capital and operational expense over the next several years. This new facility reflects Align?s strategy to get closer to customers and scale its operations to support high-growth markets like India, while strengthening its supply chain resilience and operational efficiency to drive shareholder value. It also demonstrates Align?s continued investments in aligner fabrication manufacturing and treatment planning capabilities in each of its regions, to better serve doctor customers and their patients, and contribute to their local economy through investment and employment.

Align?s Hyderabad manufacturing facility will complement Align?s existing footprint in Hyderabad, which includes its Global Capability Center, the Align Innovation Center, further reinforcing the city?s strategic importance within Align?s global operations network. It would mark the company?s first manufacturing presence in India and its fourth globally. The proposed facility is expected to commence operations in 2027 and be margin accretive in the first year.

The Hyderabad facility represents an important milestone as Align scales its operations in high-growth markets and further strengthens its ability to support Invisalign-trained doctors and their patients. With this investment, Align expects to enhance service levels across the region through more localized, customized support.
