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.
