Menon Pistons Ltd (MPL) is a manufacturer specializing in high-precision piston assemblies and engineering components. Established in 1971, the company produces a diverse range of products including aluminium and steel pistons, piston pins, and other engine components. MPL caters to various sectors such as passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and heavy-duty diesel engines used in power generation, construction and industrial applications. Their product portfolio also extends to engine valvetrain components, hydraulic systems and precision machined parts.
MPL operates a manufacturing facility in Kolhapur with a substantial production capacity for pistons, piston pins, and plungers. Despite having a customer base that includes both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the replacement market, the company's revenue is heavily concentrated on two key clients, Cummins India Limited and Menon Export, together accounting for approximately 40 per cent of their total sales. This reliance on a limited number of customers poses a significant risk to the company's financial stability.
