Belrise, an automotive-component manufacturer and one of the top companies in the overall two-wheeler metal components segment in India, announced the acquisition of H-One India from Japan-based publicly listed H-One Co., Ltd. (H-One Co.). This move aims to expand Belrise`s design and manufacturing capabilities and strengthen its position as a supplier of chassis systems and body-in-white parts in the Indian automotive market.
H-One India, the Indian subsidiary of H-One Co., is involved in the design and manufacturing of high-tensile steel components and high-tensile tool development for 4-wheelers and 2-wheelers. High-tensile steel components are crucial for light-weighting, enhancing vehicle safety, fuel efficiency, and overall performance. These high-tensile materials offer superior strength-to-weight ratios, enabling automakers to design lighter yet durable and robust vehicles that meet stringent safety and environmental standards.
H-One India`s established clientele includes multiple marquee Indian and Japanese 4-wheeler and 2-Wheeler OEMs. This acquisition will broaden Belrise`s customer base as well as increase product diversification within its existing customers.
Through this acquisition, Belrise aims to enhance its production capacity and logistical efficiency by leveraging H-One India`s two manufacturing facilities in North India and integrating H-One India`s core technological capabilities.
