suited to Indian requirements
Gibraltar, the first Indian air spring
brand to manufacture with indig-
enous technology, will commence
production shortly at the company’s
greenfield facility near Kolkata.
The company and its promoters
have years of experience selling air
springs in the Indian market, both for
road and rail applications. The deep
understanding of the Indian market,
vehicles, road conditions, usage and
customer requirements has helped
Gibraltar develop a complete range
of air springs for truck and bus ap-
plications most suited to the Indian
market.

Manager (Marketing), said: “We
have designed the air spring based
on a thorough understanding of our
customer’s requirement and Indian
road conditions which, in turn, goes
into the manufacturing of the prod-
uct. Our strength is our R&D center,
where extensive research is being
done employing the best of the rub-
ber technologists in India”.
Indian design is one of Gibraltar’s
most important USPs, an aspect
which gives it a competitive edge.
