The Japanese manufacturer believes that India is a large and growing market with strategic importance due to low manufacturing cost and cheap labor availability. In September 2017, to increase its global footprint, LISI Group entered into a binding agreement to acquire 51% of the share capital of Termax LLC, a leading manufacturing company specializing in metal and plastic fastening systems for automotive interiors.

The second most widely followed strategy by market players is expansions. In November 2017, SFS Group invested in the expansion of its sites in Switzerland. BULTEN AB has made an investment in a strategic geographical location of Poland to manufacture components at competitive prices and meet the future market demands in the European region.
