Arathi Krishna, Managing Director, Sundram Fasteners, said, “Our performance this quarter reflects the strength of our operational discipline and our unwavering focus on customer centricity. Despite a challenging global environment marked by geopolitical uncertainties, we have delivered all-time high results driven by robust domestic demand and improved efficiencies.

Additionally, new business wins across geographies have enabled us to further expand our global footprint. The uptick in North American Class 8 truck and ICE vehicle sales has supported growth in our automotive portfolio, while our strategic shift to directly engage with OEMs outside India in the fasteners division has enhanced both margins and market access, even amid broader industry sluggishness.”
