Deal Structure and Key Details

Gabriel India Enters Fasteners Market to Diversify Product Portfolio

This joint venture marks Gabriel India’s official entry into the automotive fasteners space, reinforcing its broader strategy of product diversification and strengthening OEM relationships.

The JV will operate under a shared governance model:

• Board Composition: Equal representation from both parties
