New ~1.36 lakh sq. ft. facility strengthens BENTELER’s localisation strategy and builds on a long-standing partnership within the park
National, Date: 2025: Horizon Industrial Parks announced the expansion of its collaboration with BENTELER Automotive India, with the global automotive components manufacturer leasing a new ~1.36 lakh sq. ft. manufacturing facility at Horizon Industrial Park Chakan II. This addition builds upon BENTELER’s existing ~1.28 lakh sq. ft. facility, operational since October 2021, further solidifying Horizon’s position as a trusted infrastructure partner for advanced manufacturing companies
The newly leased facility will support BENTELER’s in-house production of tubes for torsion beams, a capability previously dependent entirely on imports. These tubes will then undergo further processing at BENTELER’s current plant within the park to manufacture rear axle beams. The new operations will enhance localisation, reduce import reliance, and improve supply-chain agility for BENTELER.
A Testament to Horizon’s Quality, Agility and Customer-Centricity
BENTELER’s decision to expand within Horizon Industrial Park Chakan II reflects the strong relationship built over years of consistent delivery, robust infrastructure, and responsive support. Horizon has previously delivered BENTELER’s built-to-suit facility with high-performance features including energy-efficient materials, insulated roofing and walls, overhead crane readiness, and provisions for solar power, creating a resilient and scalable base for automotive component manufacturing.
Urvish Rambhia, CEO, Horizon Industrial Parks said, “Horizon Industrial Park, Chakan II, an IGBC Platinum Certified asset, is strategically located in Chakan’s MIDC Phase 2 with future-ready infrastructure.
