Global auto industry poses divergent challenges to automotive OEMs and Tier 1 companies - to achieve constantly lower costs without supply chain risks associated with sources in the Low cost countries. BFL’s “Dual Shore” manufacturing model is fundamentally based on the inherent need of the customer to ensure smooth supply of components under all circumstances while providing a long-term cost advantage. The concept revolves around establishing more than one manufacturing location for all core components. Typically, one close to the customer and one in a low cost, but technologically competitive destination such as India.

BFL is presently focused on creating a position of Global Leadership in the Engine & Chassis components for Passenger Cars and Commercial Vehicles. The company has therefore embarked upon a three-pronged strategy to offer the customers :

• Dual Shore Design capability
• Dual Shore Forging manufacturing capability
• Dual Shore machining capability
