Align Technology, the global medical device company behind the Invisalign clear aligner system, is expanding aggressively into India with plans to build a new manufacturing facility in Hyderabad by 2027. The project represents a major $200 million investment and is expected to generate more than 300 direct jobs.
The new facility marks Align’s first manufacturing presence in India and its fourth globally, reinforcing a strategy aimed at moving closer to high-growth markets, strengthening supply chain resilience, and improving operational efficiency.
The company said the expansion will deepen its ability to serve doctors and patients across the region while supporting its broader push into digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry, including its iTero intraoral scanners and exocad CAD/CAM software ecosystem.
“India represents an important growth market for Align, and we are excited about the opportunity to expand our global manufacturing network with a new facility in Hyderabad,” said Jitse Marrée, Align executive vice president, global operations.
“This investment underscores our commitment to scaling our advanced manufacturing capabilities, supporting our doctor customers, and bringing the benefits of the Invisalign System to more patients worldwide. Hyderabad’s strong talent base, infrastructure, and innovation ecosystem make it an ideal location for our next phase of growth.”
The Hyderabad site will complement Align’s existing footprint in the city, which already includes a Global Capability Center and an Innovation Center—further cementing Hyderabad as a strategic hub in the company’s global operations network. The facility is expected to begin operations in 2027 and be margin accretive in its first year.
“We are proud to expand Align’s global manufacturing footprint with our first manufacturing facility in India and a new state-of-the-art site in Hyderabad,” said JunHo Han, Align executive vice president and managing director, Asia Pacific.
“This investment reflects our long-term commitment to the Asia-Pacific region and builds on our continued expansion across key markets, where we have been investing in local teams, capabilities, and digital treatment planning infrastructure to support growing adoption of the Invisalign System.
"The Hyderabad facility represents an important milestone as we scale our operations in high-growth markets and further strengthen our ability to support Invisalign-trained doctors and their patients. With this investment, we expect to enhance service levels across the region through more localized, customized support.”
With this move, Align is sharpening its global manufacturing footprint while doubling down on India as a key growth engine in its next phase of expansion.
