Setco Automotive achieves export milestone with flywheels for US market

Setco Automotive Limited, a leader in manufacturing M&HCV clutches and premium truck products, has reached a major milestone by successfully exporting flywheels and covers to the United States through its subsidiary Lava Cast. This shipment, aimed at prominent auto and aftermarket players, signals a strategic push into the competitive global automotive components industry and showcases the company’s commitment to quality and innovation.

Lava Cast’s pivotal role

At the heart of this achievement is the Lava Cast facility, a state-of-the-art manufacturing unit designed for precision and efficiency. The facility’s fully automated production line ensures products that meet stringent international standards, giving Setco a competitive edge in the automotive export market. This emphasis on precision and cost-efficiency aligns with the growing demand for robust, reliable components in the US market.

Strengthening export presence

The shipment to the United States underscores Setco’s strategic expansion into international markets, which often yield higher profit margins than domestic sales. Setco plans to leverage the advanced capabilities of Lava Cast to scale operations further, particularly in flywheels, clutches, and machined castings. The company aims to deepen its presence in established markets such as the United States and emerging regions across SAARC and the Middle East.

Leadership perspective

Harish Sheth, Chairman and Managing Director of Setco Automotive, emphasised that this milestone is a reflection of the company’s persistent efforts to expand globally. He noted that the export initiative not only highlights the strength of Lava Cast products but also positions Setco for sustained growth as international markets continue to demand high-quality automotive export market solutions.

Innovation driving growth

Innovation remains central to Setco’s strategy. The company’s Research and Development facilities, located in India and the UK, ensure a steady stream of cutting-edge solutions tailored to diverse market needs. Equipped with advanced tools like 3D modelling and lifecycle management software, these centres play a crucial role in supporting Setco’s ambitious export agenda.

A look ahead

As Setco Automotive increases its global footprint, it aims to maintain its focus on delivering superior quality and innovation across its diversified product range. With plans to expand its operations and revenue streams, the company is positioned to further solidify its role as a major player in the global automotive components industry.
