Within its strategy to consolidate as a global provider of automotive technology solutions, the company is committed to expanding its business in markets with the greatest growth potential for its business, such as India. In this market, Antolin has just opened its new Global Design and Business Services office in Pune. From this centre, where more than 250 employees work, it will support leading vehicle manufacturers with a full service from product design and simulation to logistics. The company plans to add 150-250 people over the next few years to this new centre based on the evolution of the business.
Grupo Antolin has been in India for 20 years with five plants in the Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Haryana and Gujarat regions supplying automotive interior components to the country’s major manufacturers. Specifically, projects for the businesses of doors, lighting and headliner systems for Skoda Volkswagen, Mahindra and Tata Motors stand out. In the Indian market, sales grew by 50% to €65 million in the first nine months of this year.
With this new facility, the company will better and faster adapt to the specific needs and requirements of its customers in Asia, a key region in its strategy thanks to the new projects it is securing with major vehicle manufacturers.
