Following the acquisition of Barre Thomas by US-based Cooper Standard Automotive in 2011, the JV became a part of Cooper Standard’s global AVS business. The joint venture has two state of the art plants at Pune and Chennai, and an R&D centre. In 2018, following the decision of Cooper-Standard to divest its AVS business globally to Continental AG, the Sujan JV is now a part of Continental’s Vibration Control division.
