Vehicle manufacturing is going through a complete transition. For Rockman Industries, the EuroGUSS 2026 in Nuremberg is the ideal place to showcase our future roadmap. We’ve come a long way from our humble beginnings as a small bicycle workshop in the 1960s.
The global precision engineering ecosystem’s growth happened because we’ve always stayed obsessed with one goal: Capitalising on the opportunity before the industry’s move or before the new technology hits the market. For automotive parts manufacturers in India, this exhibition is a platform to prove that we aren’t just following global standards; we are the ones defining them.
The move toward electric mobility has forced every Automobile OEMs to rewrite the conventional manufacturing rules. Every gram of weight we can shave off a chassis means better range for the vehicle, which is why our work in aluminium die casting for automotive OEMs has moved to the centre of our strategy.
We’ve spent years bringing every major casting process—HPDC, LPDC, and GDC—under a single roof. This allows us to build components that are incredibly light but still tough enough to handle the rigours of the road. EuroGUSS 2026 will be the platform we put these innovations on full display.
A Legacy Built on Real-World Engineering
Our history is a point of pride for us. Since 1960, we have grown alongside India’s industrial sector. What started with bicycle chains has now evolved into the country’s largest aluminium die-casting facilities. Today, we process over 240,000 tonnes of aluminium every year. That kind of scale isn’t just about numbers; it represents a massive amount of trust in us from our customers.
The best auto parts manufacturers in India know that you cannot just be a “supplier” anymore. You have to be a partner in engineering and designing. That is why we invested heavily in our own tool design shops and new product development team. We now produce over 300 dies a year, some weighing over five tonnes.
By handling everything from the initial CAD drawing to the final painted assembly, we give the automobile OEM a level of consistency that is hard to find elsewhere. It keeps our production lines fast with best-in-class quality.
Showcasing Precision in High-Pressure Die-Casting at EuroGUSS 2026
In Nuremberg, we are going to dive deep into our High-Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) capabilities. We have scaled up our machinery and capacity significantly, now running a high-pressure die casting machine capacity from 250 tonnes to up to 1800 tonnes. On the shop floor, these machines do the heavy lifting. They’re the reason we can pull off those tricky, thin-walled designs you see in transmission housings or structural frames.
It’s exactly this kind of precision that makes a modern car both lighter on the wheel and, most importantly, safe in a crash.
Quality control is where we really differentiate ourselves. We don’t just “check” parts; we do a microscopic examination of each part to meet the quality standards. At the exhibition, we’ll be discussing our use of real-time shot control and 3D CT X-ray systems. This technology allows us to inspect the metal internally to ensure zero internal porosity.
For OEM automotive suppliers handling safety-critical parts, there is no room for “good enough.” We also work with a repository of more than 12 different aluminium alloys, giving our customers the exact mechanical properties they need for their specific designs.
Electrification and the Next Generation
The EV revolution has changed my daily focus at Rockman global OEM manufacturing. Building a battery enclosure is a completely different beast compared to a traditional engine block.
Our alloy wheel business is a great example of this scale. We currently have an annual capacity of 15 million wheels. That experience in high-volume, high-density casting is exactly what is needed for the motor housings and cooling plates of tomorrow’s electric cars.
We are essentially giving global OEMs a way to secure their supply chains with a partner who already knows how to manufacture at a massive scale without losing precision.
The Move into Advanced Composites
Aluminium die casting is our bread and butter, but we know it isn’t the only answer to lightweighting. Through Rockman Advanced Composites, we have ventured into carbon fibre. This isn’t just for show; we are delivering real-world parts for motorsports, luxury cars, and even aerospace. We see this as the peak of advanced manufacturing solutions for OEMs.
Mastering both metals and composites gives us more flexibility in developing a much more refined vehicle architecture that very few companies can claim. Visitors visiting our stand in Jan 2026 will also see our shift toward modularity. We aren’t just casting metal; we are delivering full assemblies. We handle the legwork of coordinating with suppliers for things like bearings, seals, and springs so we can deliver “plug-and-play” units, such as wheel hub assemblies, straight to your assembly line.
It’s a way to cut out the logistical mess for our clients. Since we manage the whole stack, you don’t have to worry about whether every small sub-component is going to line up correctly—it just works.
Manufacturing with a Conscience
You cannot talk about the future of industry without talking about the planet. We have worked hard to make our eight plants as “green” as possible. From energy-efficient melting to zero-discharge paint systems, sustainability is baked into our Rockman Industries EuroGUSS narrative. Our Green Co Silver certifications aren’t just badges; they represent a fundamental shift in how we think about waste and energy.
Our footprint across India—from the north in Ludhiana to our southern hubs in Chennai and Tirupati—means we are always close to our customers. We serve the biggest names in the business: Hero MotoCorp, Honda, Kia, Ford, and TVS, along with global giants like Bosch and Continental. This network is what gives us the resilience to handle global supply chain shocks while keeping our delivery dates.
Looking Toward 2026 and Beyond
When we meet at the Rockman die casting exhibition in 2026, the conversation will be about more than just metal. It’s about how we use precision and strength to make mobility smarter. EuroGUSS is where our engineers and your designers can get into the weeds of next-gen vehicle frames.
The technical focus at Rockman EuroGUSS 2026 will likely land on “megacasting.” As cars become more integrated, the parts are getting bigger and more complex. Our ongoing investment in massive tonnage machines and full automation means we are ready for that shift. We aren’t just watching the industry change; we are providing the tools to make it happen.
If you want to see our facilities in action before the show, our official YouTube channel gives a pretty good sense of the sheer scale we operate at. Feel free to browse our full product list or take a look at where our plants are located. It’s a good way to get a sense of how our setup might actually work for your next project.
Final Thoughts
At Rockman Industries, we don’t just react to market trends. We try to set them. By combining sixty years of engineering history with a bit of a “restless” approach to new tech, we’ve become a top-tier partner for global OEMs. Nuremberg 2026 is where we restate our promise to the industry.
Let’s be honest: the industry is desperate for cars that weigh less, last longer, and don’t wreck the planet. We aren’t just talking about it; we have the actual floor space, the engineering brains, and the sheer determination to take those designs and make them real.
Whether we are talking about high-pressure aluminium casting or complex carbon composite frames, we are there to move the needle on what global manufacturing is actually capable of doing.
