TVS Logistics wishes to evaluate the opportunity for “standard” press tools in India
Study Background
TVS Logistics is in the process of evaluating an acquisition option in the US. The target is involved in providing an
integrated logistics solution in the tool building value chain through efficient procurement, kitting and delivery of standard
press tooling elements
As part of the evaluation, TVS Logistics wishes to understand whether there is an opportunity to leverage some aspects of
the business model in the Indian market context
TVS Logistics has conducted a very preliminary investigation, and has gleaned that there could be a trend in favor of
standardization of press tools parts in India in the automotive market
TVS Logistics also believes that there could be a similar opportunity in the white goods segment given the magnitude of
the sales volumes
Some large press tools aggregators, such as Misumi and Fibro, have also recently started operations in India, indicating
that probably the market opportunity for standard press tools is emerging
However, the concept of a logistics intermediary kitting standard tooling elements appears to be relatively untested in India.
So, TVS Logistics wishes to test whether there is prima-facie interest among potential customers
Avalon Consulting was engaged by the TVS Logistics to do a quick evaluation of the above aspects
We have completed the engagement and this report captures the conclusions from our evaluation

There is a further sub classification within standard parts which is relevant AVALON
14/11/10 – SS Consulting
Within standard parts, there are OEM standards and Global Standards; both the
opportunities are addressable for an independent player
Types of Standardization in Tool Parts
The central tool rooms of all major OEMs have their own set The global standards find their origin from OEM standards
of standard parts which they use at the design stage. All when popular OEM specified designs are made available by
major OEMs such as Suzuki, Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan etc. common suppliers to independent and competitor tool rooms.
have own standards What started off as aftermarket sales subsequently got
With increase in outsourcing of B2 & C class parts adopted as global standards
procurement, the usage of OEM standards is on a decline, The usage of global standards is high in B2 & C class parts,
and largely limited to A & B1 class parts which are either designed by independent tool rooms or by
OEMs who take into consideration the maintenance issues in
remote locations
“Each OEM has their own standards.. there “The origin of the standards is usually
is Nissan standard, Toyota standard, the OEMs…. Once they develop a new

- Renault Nissan - Misumi
The usage of OEM standard parts is mostly limited to A & B1 class parts AVALON

Our interviews indicate that the concept will take time to catch up in India owing to
largely internally developed parts and existing supplier relationships
“We get the dies imported from Japan… the tooling is 50% in-house, and 50% outsourced… since the die takes 4 months for delivery, the
tooling elements procurement has not been a bottleneck… there was only one case of part misalignment about 2 years back which
created a problem, but otherwise we do not have an issue…”
- Mahindra
“We develop our tools in-house… the dies are outsourced… most of the elements except Pillars, Bushes, Nitrogen Gas Springs and Ball
Cages are non-standard, and we make it in-house… these parts are also supplied by players like Fibro and Misumi… their service is good…
the non-standard parts are made in-house or procured locally… we haven’t felt any need to standardize… our operations do not require an
aggregator”
- Wheels India
“We take about 18-24 months to develop our tools… but the long lead time is due to the simultaneous engineering in our new models…
the parts procurement lead time is not a constraint as we do most of our tooling in-house… since many of our parts are non-standard
designs, the concept of an aggregator will not work for us…”
- Tata Motors
“We get many of the parts from Misumi… earlier we used to deal with Misumi Japan… now they are present in India… Misumi India takes
longer than Misumi Japan, but the lead times are manageable… we don’t see a major gap in product / service offering”
- JBM Ogihara (manages tooling for AL)
“We do not have any tools in our facility… the tools for our pressed parts are developed by our suppliers… they mostly develop the tools
in-house… the standardization is low… we also push them to lower costs… so the opportunity for premium services is low…”
- Delphi TVS
“I don’t think we would like to use such a service at least for now… the spares we carry is very low… only about Rs. 2 crores…
and depending on an external supplier for such critical parts would not be acceptable… the cost of downtime is very high…
we prefer to hold stocks of spares…”
- Renault Nissan
“The concept of standard spares kits is interesting… but the suppliers might face the entry barriers to this as the market is
already established for such standard spares…. the OEMs will not directly build the trust on such new suppliers.”
- Maruti Udyog Ltd.
“We do most of our tooling in-house… not sure such a concept will work”
- Tata Motors
“Most of our tooling is done at the JBM unit… they (tool supplier) also take(s) care of the parts supply…”
- Ashok Leyland
“Our consumption is less, but the standardization potential is high… a kit aggregator could be useful in the future”
- TAFE
-“We have already established relations with tools suppliers over the years…. an intermediary like an aggregator / kit
supplier is not very useful…”
- - TVS Motor Company
AVALON

However, there could be an opportunity in working with Indian OEMs to drive the
conversion of OEM standard tooling elements to global standard elements
• Players like Misumi were instrumental in developing the standard parts as a separate business opportunity
“Three or four decades ago... Component procurement required long lead times and entailed considerable lead
times… small lot production made component manufacturing inefficient and quite costly… Misumi’s business
model revolutionised component procurement… we partnered with small scale component manufacturers
scattered across Japan and began catalog sales… we standardized many components previously available
only through special orders and listed them in our catalogs…”
- Misumi Annual Report 2008
• While players like Misumi have significant first mover advantage in global standard parts, there could be
opportunity for a new player to replicate the model in India by cataloging the Indian OEM standard parts

Our quick research also indicates that Asia is emerging as a supply hub for tooling
elements
“All the press tools components for Nissan cars come from Japan, Thailand and China… these countries even
service our US and Europe operations… they are not likely to shift out tooling from these countries till there is cost
advantage…”
- Renault Nissan
“We have got Renault press tools components from France, Japan and Thailand… Asia is increasingly supplying
press tools for Renault’s global operations including Europe and US… the focus is on cost reduction, and these
countries provide equivalent quality at significantly lower costs… ”

“Honda has a dedicated tool room in Thailand.. They cater all the major tooling requirements across the globe out
of Thailand…”

“While US Companies supply approximately 70% of the domestic demand for industrial tools, dies, and molds, foreign
competition, primarily from Japan, Canada and Germany, as well as China is shrinking the domestic demand for US
products…a large challenge faced by the US tooling firms is the continued weakness of US automakers, particularly GM and
Ford… about 50% of all domestic tooling is produced for the “Big Three”…it has been difficult for US companies to enter the
supply chain of foreign carmakers…”
- International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce, USA, 2009
“America’s tool and die industry is in danger of going the way of our shrimping industry…. our tool and die industry is rapidly
disappearing…In Michigan, about 34,000 tooling jobs have vanished in the last five years, according to state labor data…The National
Tooling & Machining Association (NTMA) reports that about 30 percent of the country’s toolmakers have gone out of business since 2000
and many more are expected to follow.”
- “Losing America’s Livelihood”, by William F Jasper, The New American, 2004
“Domestic TDM (tools, dies and molds) sources are being pressed to meet the “world price” for tools or risk losing their bids…
winning bids often include tools made in “low cost countries” (LCCs).. The price advantage of outsourcing tools (is) 20 to 35%
lower than prices offered by Michigan tool shops….most notably, costs are reported to be lower in China, Korea and
Thailand… new cost reduction targets (for tooling by OEMs) are approaching 50% (from 5-10% earlier)…”
- Study titled “The World Class Tools Shop and its Prospects in Michigan”, Center for Automotive Research, Michigan
Manufacturing Technology Center, 2006
“In the recent years, the long established European Tooling Industry has been facing a fierce competition from new emerging
export oriented manufacturing countries (notably from Asia) Most important driving factor has been lower production costs…”
- Eduardo J C Biera, Joaquim Menezes, “The Tool, Mould and Die Sector and the Automotive Industry”, 2005
Thus, an Asia presence will be valuable for a US based aggregator to diversify the business in line
with emerging growth trends. However, there needs to be adequate protection for the base US
business while this diversification happens

The opportunity to supply standard press tool parts to support new tool building in
the Indian automotive segment appears to be attractive
• The overall market for press tools in India is about Rs. 5550 Cr.; automotive segment dominates with 99%
share
• The standardizable components in press tools is largely limited to the tooling elements; a significant part of the
tooling elements is still customized
• Consequently, the addressable market for standard press tools in the automotive and consumer durables
application in India is valued at over Rs. 500 Cr. Of this, the opportunity in consumer durables is negligible, and
not worth pursuing
• The automotive segment’s addressable opportunity is ~ Rs. 500 of which almost 90% (Rs. 450 Cr.) is in new
tools
• About one-third of this opportunity is in OEM standard parts, whereas the rest is in global standard parts
• The trends in the industry favor standardization and the opportunity for standard tools is likely to increase in the
future
• Thus, the market opportunity for standard press tool parts in India is attractive

The proposition of an aggregator for global standard parts is already being
addressed in the Indian market and TVS will need to compete and take a share of this
opportunity – preliminary feedback on kitting has not been encouraging
