From a single machine to a vast manufacturing facility
Balu Auto has its roots in Tamil Nadu, but its birthplace was 5000 miles away in the United Kingdom.
Founded in 1974 in Leicestershire, a humble beginning with a single machine led to becoming a major supplier of turned parts in the UK. Tim Thirumalai returned to Chennai in the '90s to establish a manufacturing plant.
We now have the plant list listed below, with more to be added following our move to the purpose-built facility being completed for 2021.
