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.
