Driving Technology Forward
Kautex
Kautex is a Top 100 global automotive supplier. The company develops and manufactures plastic fuel systems, selective catalytic reduction systems, windshield, headlight, camera and sensor cleaning systems.
In March 2016, Kautex purchased Krishna’s controlling interest in the Krishna-Kautex Pvt. Ltd. joint venture in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, and the facility is now fully owned by Kautex. The purchase was made possible through the backing of Textron through its subsidiaries Textron India and Textron Far East – a strong sign of our parent company’s willingness to invest and grow our business.
Kautex has a strong relationship with the existing customer base in India. The addition of the 31st Kautex-owned manufacturing facility will ensure proper support to the existing platforms and provide a starting point to further expand the presence and competitive footprint in the region. This should also bolster the customer support and lay the groundwork for potential growth prospects in the market.
The team at the manufacturing facility is fully equipped to build on the strength of its operational expertise and be better positioned to serve the customers in India.
Kautex is committed to maintaining and developing the strong relationships developed with its customer base in India. A forward looking approach will further the opportunity for introducing new technologies and capabilities to be made available to current and prospective customers at the new facility.
