Suresh Krishna started his career with TVS and Sons, Madurai.
 In 1962, he was given the responsibility of starting Sundram Fasteners to manufacture high tensile bolts and nuts.
Under his leadership, the company, which started its operations as a small industrial unit in Ambattur Industrial Estate, soon moved to its present location in Padi, Chennai.
It then  gradually expanded its operations to Hosur and Madurai in Tamil Nadu.

Post liberalization in 1991, Suresh Krishna has transformed the company into a multi-location, multi-product technology leader, propelling fast growth through acquisitions in India and abroad and setting up the first ever manufacturing plant in China by an Indian engineering company.
Currently SFL has 27 factories including one each in China and the United Kingdom.
SFL manufactures a variety of automotive products such as high tensile fasteners, cold extruded parts, sintered metal parts, power train components, radiator caps, wind energy components, hot forged parts, foundry parts, water pumps and oil pumps.

A firm believer in communication, Suresh Krishna ensures that the employees are kept informed, at least three times in a year, every year, of the business environment and the company's performance vis-a-vis its goals.
This has enabled him to win the trust of his work force, making SFL a unique organization.
Ever since its inception 52 years ago, SFL has not lost a single working hour due to labour unrest.

Under his leadership, SFL became the first Indian Engineering company to acquire ISO 9000 certification.
It is also the first engineering company in India to achieve Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Excellence Award.
