A mature Auto Lighting Industry and a vast and good quality supplier base, as well as proximity to China and Japan, makes Taiwan an ideal choice for establishing this centre. Inauguration of the Minda Design Centre is a major milestone for Minda in its thrust to provide high quality products to the Indian Auto Industry.

It will give us an easy access to product designing capabilities, tool making and machine development."
Minda has an excellent rapport with the Taiwan supplier community, due to continuous resident engineer interaction. This centre in Taiwan will make designing cost competitive, while ensuring faster turnaround times, which will help the company to service the Indian automobile market proactively by creating their own capability in Designing & Simulation. In addition, the Design Centre will act as an interface between Taiwan suppliers and program managers, while also sourcing new suppliers for design, simulation, tooling, fixtures, Special Purpose Machines, raw material and other parts.
