19NOVEMBER 2026Automation is now becoming another pillar of that reliability. The company is introducing automatic loading, packaging, and downstream processes to reduce dependence on manual intervention and make production more system-driven. Importantly, Mitter Fasteners does not view automation as a workforce-reduction exercise. Employees freed from repetitive operations can be trained for additional machines and higher-value work, allowing the same workforce to support greater output.Scaling Indian Manufacturing for Global MarketsMitter Fasteners already serves customers in more than 20 countries and is strengthening its international presence through a dedicated export team, customer visits and international exhibitions. Its export ambitions are expanding into markets including Japan, while European customers are increasingly seeking information related to the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).The company is also strengthening its environmental performance. Its Doraha facility operates as a zero-liquid-discharge plant, recycling and reusing wastewater and chemical waste rather than releasing it outside the facility. It plants approximately 1,500­2,000 trees each year across its campuses and has extended its social initiatives through blood-donation drives, healthcare support and community tree-planting efforts.Technology and localisation remain central to the growth strategy. SCADA-based reporting, automatic processes and greater control over previously outsourced operations are helping bring more activities inside the company's own manufacturing system. Its overarching ambition is to double the company's size by 2030. Mitter Fasteners sees India's manufacturing push, localisation and rising quality requirements creating greater opportunities for domestic suppliers capable of meeting global standards."Whatever the size of the company is in 2026, we aim to double the size of the company by 2030, that is within four years. And we are very much on track for doing this because of rising customer requirements", concludes Samparn Sahani.For Mitter Fasteners, the next phase is a continuation of the transformation that began with four washer-making machines. The company is broadening what it can manufacture, strengthening how it manufactures it, and taking greater responsibility for the customer's component requirements. Its trajectory points towards a more integrated manufacturing partner -- one built around engineering, process discipline, automation and the ability to scale with India's automotive industry.
