Amtek Auto, India’s second-largest auto-components maker, has announced signing a joint venture (JV) agreement with U.S.-based forged-metal-components maker FormTech Industries to set up a manufacturing facility for hot forgings used for automotive applications in India and Europe. Amtek will hold 51% in the JV, while FormTech would hold the balance. The company expects the facility to be fully operational in 12-18 months.
