Rockman – The High-Quality Automotive Component & Auto Parts Manufacturers in India

Automotive market has seen a boom all over the world in recent years and it continues to grow with each passing day. In independent India also, the first thing to see a rapid change was not entertainment, not tourism, not even education, it was automobile industry. Starting from the simple bicycle, that reached every house in the country, two wheelers and four wheelers developed and reached the market at fast pace and people started buying them. The development of technology led to the evolution of faster, smoother and quieter, overall better automotive models, which gave automotive component manufacturers an edge for innovating technology and producing even better vehicles and their spare parts in order to rise above all.

Hero Group recognised this opportunity and from being the producer of bicycles, it quickly switched to producing mopeds by the year 1978. Rockman, a venture of Hero Groups, was established in the year 1960 as the manufacturer of Bicycle chains. And it backed up the production of automotive two wheelers and its aftermarket services by manufacturing original two wheeler parts. Today, Rockman is the most prestigious auto parts manufacturers in India, leaving behind any competitor that might have sprung up in past six decades.

This dynamic approach in business and progressive development has led Rockman to score clients like Hero, Mahindra, Tata, Honda, Ford, Royal Enfield, and UM Motorcycles in OEM Domestic category; Bosch, Oerlikon Graziano, Denso, Stanadyne, Borg Warner, Lucas-TVS Limited, Gates, Magna, Wabco, Nemak, Continental, Mando, and KSPG Automotive in Tier 1, Domestic category, and IWIS, Getrag Ford Transmissions, Getrag, Wabco, Brose, Ford, Borg Warner, Torqtek, USUI International Corporation and Magna for Exports category. Being the first choice of these clients, Rockman is today the most sought-after among two wheeler parts manufacturers in India.

Rockman started its high pressure die casting in the year 1999 which was a turning point in the story of Rockman as it opened the doors to big projects from all over the world. And today, Rockman is an expert in aluminium die casting, having facilities for all the three types of die casting, namely, high pressure, low pressure and gravity casting, in its manufacturing units.

Rockman has the facility for manufacturing different parts like alloy wheels, drive chain kits and it has also stepped into carbon composites this year. Rockman specializes in the die casting of alloy wheels with two specialised facilities in Haridwar and Bawal with capacity of manufacturing 5.8 million wheels annually. It has 72 GDC machines with fully automatic pouring system and a melting capacity of 1.2 tons/hour, which makes it a leader in the industry. Its auto chain division manufactures drive chain kits and cam chain kits with sprockets.

Rockman also has an excellent automotive aftermarket service, which essentially means that it manufactures and provides original automotive spare parts to its clients that are used for replacement during servicing and repair of the automotive. 

All these parts are manufactured under strict supervision of the team of engineers, ensuring the best quality every time, and the scrapes are recycled cutting the cost of production, which makes Rockman unique and the first choice of automotive companies all over the world.

Rockman-Moldex – The Leading Carbon & Aerospace Composites Companies in India

Composite materials are those which are formed by joining two different types of materials and when one of these material is carbon, then it is known as a carbon composite. The invention of Carbon composite has been a grand breakthrough in the field of fibre-reinforced plastics, which has been popularly in use in the engineering structures for past four decades.

In January 2017, Rockman entered the industry of carbon composites by acquiring Moldex composites, which had come into formal existence in the year 2007 and had started by making and moulding carbon composite materials. Moldex Composites has also won many awards including the two awards for innovation in Automotive Applications, and Art & Architecture respectively, in 2013 and the two awards for Outstanding Innovation in the field of Composites, during the International Conference and Exhibition of Reinforced Plastics in 2015. By joining hands with Rockman, Moldex has multiplied its strengths for an even better business positioning.

The industry of Carbon composites a relatively new industry to appear in the field of material science and ever since carbon composites have been invented, they have been leading the way as the most advanced fibre material being extremely lightweight and strongest in its category, as well as fireproof and waterproof. Carbon composites are, hence, scoring their application in a wide range of industries like Motorsports, Automotive, Defence, Aerospace, Wind Energy, Medical Industry and Sporting goods. All these industries are now becoming dependent on carbon fibres for their needs because of its unique properties and Rockman has taken this opportunity to develop the best grade carbon composites by joining hands with one off the best carbon composite producing companies in the country.

Since the aircrafts and rockets need to be lightweight and weatherproof, it becomes important to develop the lightest fibre material for them that can ensure strength and stability that can be used inside and outside of these air/space– crafts. There have been several inventions regarding this, but the carbon composites have been proved to be the best and are hence being used as Aerospace composites. Aerospace composites are light weight, have high tensile strength, high chemical resistance, and high thermal tolerance and are waterproof, fireproof as well as stiff. These are also used in Commercial aircraft, military craft, helicopters, business jets, general aviation aircraft and space craft all make substantial use of composites, both inside and outside.

Rockman has been developing the carbon composite fibres for this purpose and for other uses like in the racing cars, to laminate reinforced concrete structures, tennis and badminton racquets, musical instruments, dentistry, railways, firearms, robotics and many more. Rockman is backed up by the Hero Group which is an established business group and it aids all its companies with infrastructure, monetary and technological help, by the virtue of its position in the business world.

Being a part of the most respected Hero Group and adding its power to the field of carbon composites by acquiring Moldex Composites, Rockman has become one of the best Composites companies in India, already on the path of greatness, with an ambition to become even better.
