In-House Equipment Manufacturing for Connectors and Pins in the Automotive Industry
ept in-house equipment manufacturing combines a wide range of expertise, such as development, design, tool, and machine construction, as well as control and regulation technology with programming and electrical assembly at its Buching and Peiting locations.
The extensive range of expertise – combined with ept’s internal product and process development and the immediate proximity to production – are the cornerstones of ept’s connector manufacturing and its very high level of vertical integration.
This enables us as a company to achieve the greatest possible level of independence from external suppliers or service providers.
Departments that are upstream in the project can draw on the in-house equipment manufacture expertise during the product development and planning of the operating equipment. Toolmaking and equipment manufacture is also the first point of contact for production support and the extensive services required for this.

Early Error Prevention
We work using an FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) to ensure defects are prevented from an early stage – no matter whether in feasibility analysis, production of operating equipment, or prototyping.
Outstanding Quality
We are committed to the zero-defect target as specified by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF).
We have the lowest error rate in the entire market. We also guarantee you the lowest contingency risk and the avoidance of expensive line stoppages, combined with a high on-time delivery rate. We have been able to improve the quality of our connectors ourselves and can assure you of optimum quality monitoring, thanks to the high level of vertical integration in our plants. This guarantee is backed up by a functioning quality and environmental management system that is ISO-9001, ISO-14001, and IATF 16949 certified.
