Mansons expanding capacity and
strengthening R&D division
Mansons, a leading manufacturer
and exporter of suspension compo-
nents for trucks and trailers, has its
strong presence in the Indian mar-
ket. Mansons has traditionally been
an exporter of components for the
truck and trailer industry. A few
years back the company took a stra-
tegic decision to sharpen its focus on
the Indian market. This decision has
reaped rich dividends for the compa-
ny. Today, Mansons has established
significant presence in the Indian
market by working closely with all
major OEMs and trailer manufactur-
ers.
Mr. Gautam Khanduja, Managing
Director, said: “In the last couple of
years, we have invested on expand-
ing our capacity and strengthening
our R&D capabilities by adding
people. Our focus is on axles, sus-
pensions, anti-vibration and steering
components”.
Currently, 40 per cent of the com-
pany’s business comes from the In-
dian domestic market as compared
to its being a 98 per cent export-ori-
ented company till a few years back.
Its revenues have increased by 30
per cent year on year. “We are very
focussed on the domestic market.
There has been great response and
everybody wants to work with us”,
added Mr. Gautam.
The company is working with
some of the leading vehicle manu-
facturers in India and is looking at
more potential targets in the years
to come. Added to this, it is keen on
consolidating its relationship with
its existing clients. Having crossed
the Rs. 100-crore turnover mark and
with its new logo recently launched,
Mansons seems to have reached a
new plateau with its refined strat-
egy and is confident of fortifying its
presence in the Indian market with
ambitious plans for the future.
