our story
 

A trailblazing story! That is how we could describe our journey in this highly competitive, fast paced and ever changing auto industry.
Today, as we are on the threshold of a challenging future, looking ahead at broader horizons and global reach, we take a moment to glance backwards and take a re-cap of our exciting journey.
More than a decade ago, in 1995, Autoline was a little acorn, amongst the giants in the auto industry. Set up in April 1995 as a partnership firm with a modest capital, there has been no looking back since; with Autoline having grown into a medium sized engineering and auto ancillary Company, supplying sheet metal components, assemblies, sub assemblies and tubular assemblies like silencers and exhaust systems to the Indian auto industry. Soon, however, we became a trusted vendor to auto giant Tata Motors.
August 2004, was major turning point in Autoline's history. Tata Motors was looking to entrust the manufacture of the load body of their new mini truck to someone whose capabilities they believed in. It was a challenge, no doubt, to our highly skilled yet small team that had hitherto handled designs and manufacture of small and medium assemblies. However, being a team that enjoys challenges, Autoline got cracking and tackled the job so efficiently that in precisely 20 weeks, the first mini truck model named ACE load body came off the assembly and six months later a 200 strong workforce was rolling out 150 load bodies in a 3 shift day! As ACE became a runway success, six months down the line another fully automated line had to be set up to meet the demand of 300 units per day.

 
the present

Today, Autoline is one of the prime vendors to various Automobile Companies like, TATA MOTORS LTD. (TELCO), BAJAJ AUTO LTD, KINETIC ENGINEERING LTD, MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA LTD., FIAT (INDIA) PVT. LTD., and WALKER EXHAUST (INDIA) PVT. LTD. (a Subsidiary of Tenneco, a fortune 500 U.S. company). Autoline exports auto parts i.e. brake shoes for Mercedes Benz Trailers to Saudi Arabia, Dubai etc. The future holds promise with negotiations underway with various Detroit based Auto Component Makers for direct exports.
Autoline has grown by leaps and bounds from a single plant, a modest capital and a small staff to a company that can boast of 5 manufacturing units, over 1500 strong human resource and an almost 100 percent growth each year for seven years. Autoline Industries has traversed a growth path at an enviable pace; all thanks to excellent work quality, cost competitiveness, timely deliveries and state-of-the-art Tool Room with latest CAD / CAM facilities. To further enhance design capabilities, Autoline has take a major stake in a design engineering firm making it our subsidiary. With this acquisition, Autoline has the unique capability of Offshore Designing & Manufacturing model( ODM). At Autoline, we are continuously renewing technology and upgrading quality standards, keeping in mind international benchmarks.
Today, more than 400 products from Autoline fit into a range of SUVs, LCVs , HCVs and passenger cars besides 2 and 3 wheelers. Stringent quality controls and timely deliveries have helped consolidate our position in the market as one of the top 5 vendors of Sheet Metal components for Tata Motors.
