About JBM International

The story of JBM begins not in one single garage, but across different continents and industries, creating a complex web of entities. In the UK, JBM International Ltd has established itself over four decades as a major player in the secondary aluminium industry. It specializes in manufacturing aluminium alloy ingots and recycling dross, serving critical sectors like automotive and die-casting. With a significant production capacity and a London Metal Exchange accreditation, the company is a key supplier in the global market. Meanwhile, in India, a different JBM story unfolded. In 1983, S. K. Arya, departing from his family's textile background, founded JBM Group, initially manufacturing LPG cylinders. A pivotal moment came in 1987 with a joint venture with Maruti Suzuki, plunging the company deep into the automotive components sector. Inspired by the "Intel inside" concept, Arya's vision was for every vehicle in India to have a "JBM inside," a dream that has largely been realized as the conglomerate now produces half a million auto components daily. This JBM Group has since expanded into a $3.0 billion global entity with ventures in electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. While the UK-based JBMI Group Ltd focuses on metals and recycling, and the India-based JBM Group dominates auto parts, other entities share the name. This includes a US-based boutique advisory firm specializing in M&A and wealth management with an Asian market focus, and a healthcare company that was spun off and listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange in 2021. Each of these companies operates independently, building its own legacy under a shared name.
