In the past one year, Ujjwal, son of Suman Kant Munjal and grandson of Hero Group founder Brijmohan Lall Munjal, also acquired a semi-conductor business and an electronics design services business.<\/p>\n<p>In a bid to reduce vehicle weight and emissions, increasingly automobile manufacturers are using components made by carbon composites replacing aluminum and steel parts. Moldex expects this to be the growing trend. The group is further interested to grow the Moldex Composites&#8217; business in the aerospace sector.
