Pricol Limited, a leading
manufacturer of automotive components for the global market, has unveiled its

of speed governors and cabin tilt mechanisms for the commercial vehicle segment
and among the top 10 global manufacturers of automotive sensors.
The company has set a target

new corporate identity showcases Pricol as an Innovative, evolving global
automotive component maker with a track record of 40
years of customer service with a passion to excel in every product and service

“Pricol will focus on entering
newer markets through acquisitions, tapping new product segments which would be
achieved through a very strong focus on Innovation with our growing team of
over 275 global R&D engineers” he added.
As a part of its global
expansion plans, Pricol acquired Melling do Brasil, an automotive powertrain
manufacturing company in Brazil (renamed later to Pricol do Brasil). The
company serves domestic and international customers such as Volkswagen, FIAT,
General Motors, Harley Davidson, Mack Trucks etc. The company has a strong
backward integrated facility with diverse manufacturing capabilities (Die
Casting, Machining and Robotic Assembly), extensive testing and validation
facilities to provide end-to-end solution.
This acquisition gives Pricol
an entry into the 4 Wheel Powertrain products segment globally. In the domestic
market, Pricol expanded its presence in the Commercial Vehicles segment,
through supply of speed governors, which has now become a mandatory safety
requirement. This product has been designed, developed and manufactured by
Pricol for over a decade. Pricol is a market leader in this segment.
