Endotherm Fluids

What Endotherm Fluids does

Endotherm Fluids (India) Pvt Ltd is a Chennai-based automotive component manufacturer and commercial heat treatment company founded in 1985. The company began as a commercial heat treatment services provider, becoming the first in Chennai to obtain ISO Certification after investing in Sealed Quench Furnaces (SQF). In 2007, Endotherm Fluids diversified into auto component manufacturing by establishing a greenfield integrated facility in Mappedu near Sriperumbudur, adding cold forging, warm forging, and precision machining capabilities alongside its existing heat treatment operations.

The company's technology stack centers on an integrated production platform that combines forging, machining, and heat treatment under a single roof. Manufacturing assets include 7 forging presses ranging from 100 MT to 600 MT capacity, an induction heater for warm forging, 10 CNC turning machines (including 2 fully automated units), 2 automated CNC grinding machines, a CNC double disc grinding machine, and laser marking capability. Heat treatment infrastructure comprises 4 SCADA-connected sealed quench furnaces with 100% UPS backup, 1 SCADA-connected nitriding furnace, an on-site nitrogen plant, tempering furnaces, sub-zero chambers, and washing machines. Inspection capabilities include CMM, video measuring systems, contour and roughness testers, eddy current and magnetic particle inspection machines, an emission spectrometer, and hardness testers. The company holds IATF 16949 certification at the highest quality rating for both divisions.

Endotherm Fluids generates revenue through two streams: (1) manufacturing and sale of automotive components — steering components, drive shaft components (with specialization in universal joint crosses and driveshaft spiders), brakes and clutch products, and engine components — produced via cold forging, warm forging, and machining for automotive OEMs and Tier 1/2 suppliers; and (2) commercial heat treatment services offered as a standalone service covering gaseous nitriding, nitrocarburizing, case hardening, carbonitriding, spheroidized annealing, tempering with sub-zero treatment, and hot oil quenching for distortion control. The go-to-market motion is direct enterprise field sales to OEMs and Tier 1/2 suppliers, with quote-based B2B pricing. The company holds direct approvals from Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Ford, GM, Valeo, and most other major automotive OEMs in India, and exports auto components to international markets.
