 PREFACE

Project Report plays a very important role in career of a student especially if the career is
being persuaded in a technical field. It is because this helps him in gaining technical
knowledge & experience (both theoretical and practical) as he can learn about the huge
bundle of things which cannot be learn in the class rooms.
Classroom study is the foundation, which is essential, but getting down cat from a tree is
different whenever it comes. To bridge the gap between the theory and practical, it is
essential for the student to step out of the classroom and move around the corporate world.
Classroom theory can pass on knowledge but attitude and skills can be enhanced from
actual market exposure with them. RICO AUTO INDUSTRIES LTD. provided me an
opportunity to experience an actual industry condition.
It is correctly said that market exposure is nearly a civilized form of warfare where most
of the battles are won by civilized thinking and the attitude.
The present training report gives a detailed view of the industrial training undertaken at
RICO AUTO INDUSTRY LIMITED. The training helped me in having a view of
implementing my theoretical knowledge to industrial environment. The training at RICO
AUTO INDUSTRY LIMITED is definitely going to play an important role in developing
an attitude for hard work and self-confidence for my future.
Rico is a world-class engineering company supplying a wide range of high precision fully
machined aluminum and ferrous components and assemblies to automotive OEMs across
the globe. Rico’s consolidated group total turnover is over US$ 245 Million Rico’s
integrated services include design, development, tooling, casting, machining and assembly
across ferrous and aluminum products.
