The company said it recently acquired a manufacturing facility in Jamnagar, Gujarat, similar to its existing facility. This unit will manufacture brass and forging components across a 3,000-square-metre modern plant. This addition will bolster the company's market position, it added. However, the company did not disclose the value at which it acquired the facility.
