Sujan ContiTech AVS, a joint venture between JNV Ventures Group and Continental AG, has established itself as the partner of choice for NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) products for small, light, heavy, and new energy commercial vehicles.
Sujan ContiTech AVS Private Limited (SCT) diversified into the manufacturing of NVH parts for commercial vehicles in 2018. Since then, the company, a joint venture between JNV Ventures Group and Continental AG, has achieved several milestones. It currently serves India’s leading CV manufacturers, including the No. 1 and No. 2 players – Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland – and has recently secured a key mandate from Daimler India Commercial Vehicles, the Indian subsidiary of Daimler Trucks. SCT has set up a dedicated CV research & development team, headed by a Chief Technology Officer, to deepen its involvement with the CV sector and provide world-class, cost-effective, and reliable products and solutions.
SCT is already a major player in the NVH business for passenger vehicle OEMs in India. Its customer list includes the leading names in the Indian car industry: Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors, Stellantis, Toyota Kirloskar (the Indian arm of Toyota Motor Corporation), and Renault-Nissan, among others. Additionally, the company supplies its products to several Tier 1 companies.
