N a rapidly evolving automotive world, one Indian company has quietly grown to become a force of innovation, quality, and manufacturing excellence.
M-TEK Engineers, today one of the country's largest and most respected automotive accessories manufacturers, began with a simple dream shared by two engineering students-Mr. Manish Kolhatkar and Mr. Mandar Kirane.
What started in 1994 as a modest workshop with four employees has transformed into a 3.5 lakh sq. ft. industrial powerhouse, equipped with cutting-edge manufacturing technology and a workforce of over 700 employees. From making a single product line to supplying a wide range of premium accessories across India and exporting to markets like Australia, South Africa, and Europe, the company's growth reflects the rise of Indian manufacturing on the global stage.
A Journey Rooted in Friendship and Vision
The founders met during their engineering years, bonding over similar ambitions and a shared passion for the automotive world. After completing their degrees, their paths diverged—Mr. Mandar pursued his MS in the USA while Mr. Manish built his early career at Bharat Forge and Tata Motors.
Despite the distance, the idea of building their own company stayed alive. Four years later, Mr. Mandar returned to India, and together they turned their longstanding dream into reality. Their vision was simple yet powerful: Create high-quality automotive accessories designed and manufactured entirely in India.
Building a Manufacturing Leader
Today, M-TEK Engineers stands tall as a distinguished brand specializing in exterior and interior accessories for cars, with a strong focus on SUVs. Its diverse product portfolio includes:
• Roof Carriers
• Side Footsteps
• Sporty Spoilers
• Roof Garnish
• Body Kits
• Armrest
• Cushions
• Paint protection films
• New innovations such as deployable rear spoilers & side steps
