Important Milestones

1966

ASRI started as Auto Steel Industries at Bhosari Industrial Estate, Poona. We had a small machine shop with 2 rubber pressers when India was at its early industrial stages. There were not many rubber manufacturing units then, so the machine shop started growing gradually.

1995

In 1995 ASRI was converted into a Private Limited Company. ASRI was now a prominent user of new polymers and elastomers entering the market. By then, ASRI had become a large supplier to the Automotive, Mining, and Diesel engine industries.

2000

Until 2000, ASRI had already developed over 15000 import substitution rubber products. The supply of rubber and silicone hoses had grown and we were supplying OEM businesses with over 700 products and 100 invoices a day.

2003

ASRI started exporting in 2001, adding an extra focus to supply globally. ASRI was the recipient of the prestigious MCCIA – Tata Honeywell Quality Award for the year 2002. Shore Auto Rubber Exports Pvt. Ltd. was incorporated in 2003 to hive off the hose business from ASRI.
