“Growth in Asia Pacific, particularly India and China, is a key component of our business strategy,” said the supplier’s chief for the region, Tim Bowes.


“To support the growth we have planned in this region, we identified the need to increase the size of our engineering footprint in India – which was established over 10 years ago. This new engineering centre accelerates our ability to [develop products] for on- and off-highway, bus and coach, military and other industrial applications.”
