Could you please provide an overview of the new offerings your company has recently introduced, with a particular focus on two- and four-wheelers, including air filtration systems, snorkels, and various blow-moulded products?
Lumax Cornaglia’s (a 50:50 joint venture between Lumax Auto Technologies Limited and the Cornaglia Group of Turin, Italy) facilities based in Chakan, Pune, and Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, specialise in automotive air intake systems. Initially, we began as an air filtration and air intake systems company, providing ducts and vehicle filtration solutions to OEMs. However, over the last four years, we have expanded into tank manufacturing. We now specialise in manufacturing AdBlue Tanks (Urea Tanks) that comply with the BS6 regime and are adept at managing nitrogen content and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels.
Additionally, we have diversified into rotational moulding technology for plastic fuel tanks for commercial vehicles at our new plant located in Chakan, Pune. Initially, these plastic fuel tanks will be integrated into commercial SOPs this year, with plans to expand to other OEMs. Thus, our Chakan Facility is a one-stop solution shop for all moulding technologies, including advanced plastic polymers such as injection moulding, blow moulding, 3D moulding, and rotational moulding, catering to current automotive OEM requirements.
What were the driving factors behind the development of these new products, and how do they address the evolving needs of the automotive market in India?
