Strengths

Kross Ltd has longstanding relationships with large OEMs and their tier-one suppliers, domestic dealers and fabricators for the trailer axle and suspension business. These relationships are complemented by a diversified network of dealers for their trailer axle and suspension assembly business.
They have experienced robust growth in the past 3 years, allowing them to be recognised as a major player in the field of trailer axle and suspension manufacturing in India.
