Allied Nippon

What Allied Nippon does

Allied Nippon Private Limited is an Indian manufacturer of friction materials for the automotive industry, producing brake shoes, brake pads, clutch plates, brake linings, clutch facings, and RMR-shim disc pads across two-wheeler, three-wheeler, passenger vehicle, commercial vehicle, and off-road vehicle applications. The company was incorporated in 1988 as a joint venture between the Talwar Group of Companies (a US$ 400 million diversified auto-components conglomerate founded in 1931) and Japan Brake Industrial Co. Ltd. (JBI), part of the Hitachi group — now represented by Resonac Corporation and Resonac Brake Corporation as Japanese technology partners. Allied Nippon holds 49% of Allied Resonac Brake India Pvt. Ltd. (ARBI), which manufactures non-asbestos disc brake pads, linings, and drum brake assemblies at Neemrana, Rajasthan, and holds 51% of Allied Comline Limited (ACL), a UK-based wholesale distributor of motor car spares.

The company's core technology rests on materials engineering rather than software: in-house Chemical, Prototype, and Mechanical Laboratories equipped with Brookfield Viscometers, IR Moisture Balances, Karl Fischer Titrators, HCV/Railway dynamometers (inertia 13–3,315 kgm²), passenger-car dynamometers (up to 156 kgm²), NVH acoustic chambers, and Krauss Friction Testers. Product quality is anchored in IATF-16949, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and over 1,400 ECE 90 (R-90) certifications ensuring aftermarket products conform within +15% of OEM performance standards. The Allied and ANL trademarks are registered in 48 countries.

Commercially, Allied Nippon operates a hybrid OEM-plus-aftermarket model: direct enterprise supply to customers including Bajaj, TVS, Hero, Royal Enfield, Tata Motors, Eicher, Bosch, Brakes India, Axletech, and Endurance for assembled-vehicle brake and clutch components, complemented by an Exclusive Partner Program for mechanics and retailers and an e-catalogue distribution channel for aftermarket replacement parts. Manufacturing runs across five Indian facilities (Sahibabad, two Parwanoo sites, Neemrana, Ghaziabad) plus Chinese operations and the UK JV. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed; the most recent corporate action recorded is a 2025 conversion from Allied Nippon Ltd. to Allied Nippon Private Limited.
