Focus at Auto Expo 2020

Kamax is known for producing fasteners at our European plants. We are planning to soon set up a manufacturing site in India and hence have not launched any product per se here at the Auto Expo but we are promoting Kamax India as a ‘coming-soon’ local manufacturing site. We wish to create awareness about Kamax as a global company with an aim to produce local to serve local businesses.

Expectations from the show

Our main expectations currently are to establish a business network, meet new customers and widen our customer base. We have had positive feedback to our offerings and our potential customers have realized that Kamax is a German company that offers good support in application engineering and that we bring good quality and standards to benefit the local market. We are a global company with manufacturing sites in the US, China and Mexico outside of Europe. Currently, we are analysing the best location to set up our manufacturing plant in India that will be geographically closer to our customers and also be in accessible distance to our suppliers.
