Origin options
If you are moving work out of China, or need a second origin behind a part you already buy there, this is what we can offer by region and process. The quality system is stated for each, including where it stops.
| Region | Processes | Quality system |
|---|---|---|
| Taiwan | Connectors, terminals, harness; precision and structural fasteners; cold-forged fasteners | IATF 16949 · ISO 9001 (second fastener source) |
| Vietnam · Ho Chi Minh City | Heavy sheet metal, welded fabrication, finishing, galvanizing | ISO 9001 |
| India · Gujarat | Iron and SG iron castings, closed-die forgings, investment castings, aluminum die casting | Varies by shop: IATF 16949 or ISO 9001 |
| China · Shanghai | Injection molding, stamping, die casting, tooling, contract assembly | ISO 9001 |
Taiwan
Custom connectors, stamped terminals and cable assembly, with tooling, stamping and molding in-house. IATF 16949.
Cold-formed screws, bolts and nuts, stainless specials and standards-defined structural hardware. IATF 16949.
A second Taiwan cold-forge fastener maker, for buyers who want a qualified alternate or work that suits a different plant. ISO 9001, not IATF 16949.
Vietnam · Ho Chi Minh City
A Vietnamese-owned fabrication shop for brackets, frames, enclosures and welded structures, using Vietnam-melt steel.
Fit: industrial, not automotive PPAP (yet)
The shop is ISO 9001 and does not hold IATF 16949. It suits industrial, equipment and infrastructure work. For automotive programs that require PPAP under IATF 16949, we will say so at the RFQ rather than stretch the claim.
India · Gujarat
Qualification varies by shop
Some of the shops hold IATF 16949; others are ISO 9001. Qualification varies by shop, and we tell you which before you quote.
China · Shanghai
Quality system
ISO 9001. Not IATF 16949. For tooling-heavy parts where China still makes sense, we quote it with the origin stated, and can quote an alternate region alongside.
How we handle origin
Country of origin is stated on every quotation, per line.
Where your program needs it, melt and mill origin of the raw material is available, not only where the part was finished.
If a part cannot meet your origin requirement from any region we cover, we tell you. Duty and classification questions belong with your customs broker; see how we build a landed cost.
Drawing, annual volume and origin requirement. We come back with which region fits, which quality system applies, and where it does not.
