India fastener market 
The majority of fasteners in India today are consumed by the developing automotive sector. With global OEM’s such as Ford, Honda and Hyundai now manufacturing vehicles for both domestic and export sales, the use of hexavalent chromium free passivates is becoming an important factor in this supply chain.
LPS
Lakshmi Precision Screws Ltd, established in 1972, provides high tensile fastening technology globally. having Joint Ventures, License Agreements, and Alliances with different fastening companies worldwide. The Company is located in Rohtak (Haryana) just sixty kilometers from New Delhi.

ZinKlad
Launched 10 years ago to help automotive engineers specify the right products to meet End of Life Vehicle requirements it has enabled many global OEM’s to specify higher standards than they had previously achieved.
Today ZinKlad represents not only the best method for achieving hexavalent chromium free performance coatings, but also:
- Approved applicators: Applying these products to a common audited standard ensures the same coating performance throughout the applicator base.
- High performance: Exceeding corrosion resistance of hexavalent chromate systems and exceptionally consistent torque and tension characteristics.
- Global consistency: Wherever ZinKlad coatings are applied, applicators know they are using the same high performance products.
Of course, compliance with legislation, such as ELV & RoHS, and predictable torque-tension performance continue to be essential requirements. ZinKlad continues to deliver on all of these needs.
