Stamping of Individual Contacts for Connectors in the Automotive Industry
Stamped contacts are made in our stamping workshop using machines that we develop and produce ourselves. This not only guarantees maximum profitability and flexibility, but also enables us to monitor the quality of all aspects of the stamping process.
Our goal is to achieve the perfect balance between tool and machine.
Our highly qualified employees operate our presses and automatic stamping machines at ept locations around the world. This enables us to stamp many billions of parts worldwide every year.

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.
