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.

Benteler Automotive India will also focus on developing local talent and technical expertise to operate and continuously improve the new manufacturing line.
