JBM Group is a key systems supplier of auto components to Indian and global automobile companies. There is at least one JBM component in each vehicle being sold in India today, be it passenger cars, three-wheelers, two wheelers, commercial vehicles or off-highway equipment. "JBM Group is a well-diversified global conglomerate providing end-to-end solutions to automobile manufacturers. We have a strong infrastructure of 35 manufacturing plants and four engineering & design centres across 18 locations globally. Our biggest asset is our people who have worked diligently to meet and in most cases surpassed the expectations of our clients. It is because of their commitment to providing the best solutions to our stakeholders that we have long-term relationship with companies like Maruti Suzuki, Ashok Leyland, Bajaj Auto Ltd, Fiat, Ford, General Motors Corporation, Honda, Hero, Renault, Nissan, TATA, Toyota, Volvo-Eicher, Volkswagen and others. The group has alliances with more than 20 renowned companies globally including Arcelor Mittal, Cornaglia, Dassault Systems, JFE Steel Corporation, Magnetto (CLN
Group), Ogihara, Sumitomo and many more," explained Nishant Arya, Executive Director, JBM Group.

Expanding horizons, the company has ventured into bus manufacturing. Perhaps, it is one of the first auto component manufacturers that have entered into a vehicle manufacturing. "As a part of the diversification strategy of the group, we ventured into the bus manufacturing space. This came in as a natural progression for us having in-house capabilities and strengths developed by virtue of our experience with the auto OEMs. Moreover, we have already been doing contract manufacturing for a few OEMs for over a decade now," Arya added.

The new era
Elaborating on the bus business, Arya added, "We have entered into the bus manufacturing business with an objective of providing a sustainable yet luxurious and safe option of public transport to people. Our products have received an overwhelming response from all quarters of the government, transport corporations, companies, etc. We are increasingly looking at being an end-to-end solution provider for public transportation in India."
