Rane Engine Valve, the flagship company of Rane Group, that produces engine valves and tappets has won the prestigious Volkswagen Group Award 2008. Volkswagen awarded 15 global suppliers with the award, and Rane Engine Valve was the only Indian company to receive this honour. 

Accepting the award, L Ganesh, chairman of Rane Group, said: "REVL has been one of the leading exporters of auto components from India. We are very proud to be recognized as one of the 15 top vendors of Volkswagen worldwide. I believe this the first and only recognition of any Indian supplier. Earlier, in 2003, it was the only non German supplier to win an award from Deutz, Germany. The company is poised to grow significantly as a global supplier with such customer awards". 

Rane has been supplying Volkswagen Group factories since the mid-1990s. Moreover, Rane has been the integral part of the switchover from unit injector to common rail diesel technology, and has proven to be a competent and future focused partner for Volkswagen in terms of competitiveness, technology and quality.
