Production Milestone and Expansion

The Bengaluru facility began ACU production in 2016. Over the past decade, the plant has scaled up its output. The company has shifted from manual assembly to increased automation.

Strategic Focus and Market Reach

AUMOVIO India aims to make the Bengaluru plant a hub for automotive safety systems in the Asia-Pacific region. The facility serves both Indian automotive OEMs and export markets, including Japan and South Korea. The company’s focus on automation and localization has helped build a resilient supply chain and improve product quality.

Prashanth Doreswamy, President & CEO of AUMOVIO India, stated that the milestone reflects the steady growth of manufacturing operations. He highlighted the benefits of automation and localization for efficiency and supply ecosystem resilience.
