Samvardhana Motherson International (formerly known as Motherson Sumi Systems Limited) is a globally diversified manufacturer and a full-system solutions provider to customers in automotive and other industries. The Company is one of the world's largest and fastest growing suppliers for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in the automotive industry.
 
In February, the company entered into a joint venture with Japan's Sanko, a player in the material handling sector, to provide sustainable packaging solutions in India and Europe. The joint venture (JV) will contribute to greater efficiencies in material handling with cost reduction in overall logistics spending.  
 
The auto parts maker reported a smaller-than-expected rise in third-quarter profit on Friday, hurt by weak global car sales. The company's consolidated profit rose to ₹878.9 crore in the quarter ended December 31 but fell short of analysts' estimates. Samvardhana Motherson is India's top auto parts maker by market capitalisation and counts carmakers from Maruti Suzuki to Mercedes-Benz among its customers.
