Bharat Forge has always believed in staying in tune with emerging trends and technology. The acquisition of CDP Aluminiumtechnik, now renamed as Bharat Forge Aluminiumtechnik - BFAT Germany is one such example. This acquisition marks the entry of Bharat Forge into the aluminium auto component segment. The acquisition has further strengthened Bharat Forge’s position in the global Passenger Car & Chassis Component business.

With BFAT, Bharat Forge has not only ensured a diverse portfolio of offering, but has also enabled technical superiority, both in steel and aluminium. Allowing customers to source the complete spectrum of forged auto components across steel & aluminium segments from a single source.

 
 
     

BFAT is located at Brand-Erbisdorf, near Dresden, an area emerging as a major automotive hub. BFAT has developed and patented its technology of aluminium forgings in Germany. Its customers include major automobile manufacturers such as BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Ford, etc.

Aluminium is progressively becoming the preferred material for specialised hi-end automotive applications due to its significantly lighter weight and consequent advantages of fuel efficiency. Bharat Forge, along with its subsidiary CDP Bharat Forge has a leadership position in steel forgings for commercial vehicle and passenger car segment, and the acquisition of CDP AT will widen the product offering of the company. In a nutshell, Bharat Forge now has the capability to offer forging solutions for any customer need in passenger car chassis components, across steel and aluminium.
