According to ZEN's global sales and marketing director, Nelson Bastos, in 2014 the Brazilian company had 56% of its revenues from sales to the foreign market. "With this award, the company attests that it is one of the largest auto parts exporters in Brazil and also in the development of processes and products for the global market," said the executive.

With 20 years of existence, the system has two production units: one in Chennaí, in India, and another in Tecumseh, in the United States.
