Tata AutoComp Systems Limited, an automotive components manufacturer, has received the Deming Prize for the third time in two years with Tata AutoComp Hendrickson Suspensions Limited (THSL) being named a recipient for 2025. The award recognises organisations for excellence in Total Quality Management (TQM) and continuous improvement.
THSL’s selection makes it the first commercial vehicle suspension system manufacturer to receive the Deming Prize. The company follows Tata AutoComp’s Composites Division and Tata Ficosa, which received the award in 2024.
“Winning back-to-back Deming Prizes in 2024 and 2025, three prizes in two years, emphasises the importance of Total Quality Management in our organisation,” said Arvind Goel, Vice-Chairman of Tata AutoComp Systems Limited. “As we expand into new segments, geographies, and technologies, quality management remains our foremost priority.”
“Total Quality Management is a people’s movement, and the Deming Prize reflects how we are enabling a quality mindset and driving customer-centric transformation,” said Manoj Kolhatkar, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Tata AutoComp.
The Deming Prize, instituted in 1951 by the Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers, evaluates organisational leadership, systems, and performance outcomes to assess long-term commitment to TQM practices. The award is recognised as an international benchmark for quality-driven business performance.
Tata AutoComp, headquartered in Pune, manufactures automotive systems and components for passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, two-wheelers, and electric mobility applications.
