Benteler Automotive India, a leading supplier of automotive safety and chassis components, has announced plans to establish an in-house tube forming capability for torsion beam rear suspension systems at its India operations. This strategic investment reinforces the company’s commitment to localization, operational excellence, and enhanced customer responsiveness in the Indian automotive market.
The new tube forming capability will enable Benteler Automotive India to internally manufacture critical tubular components used in torsion beam rear suspension assemblies. By bringing this process in-house, the company aims to improve product quality, reduce lead times, strengthen supply chain resilience, and increase overall manufacturing efficiency.
The investment aligns with Benteler’s global strategy of vertical integration and advanced manufacturing, while also supporting India’s growing demand for cost-effective, lightweight, and high-performance suspension systems—particularly in the compact and mid-size vehicle segments.
The new capability is expected to support both existing and upcoming customer programs and will be implemented with state-of-the-art equipment and robust quality assurance processes. Benteler Automotive India will also focus on developing local talent and technical expertise to operate and continuously improve the new manufacturing line. With this expansion, Benteler Automotive India continues to strengthen its position as a trusted partner to leading OEMs, offering innovative, reliable, and locally manufactured chassis and suspension solutions.
