elastomer components within a vehicle that perform the important functions of sealing, isolating vibration, dampening noise and providing protection \u2014 and obtaining uniform quality from a reliable source is more challenging than most buyers expect. <strong>A part that passes a sample lot can fail in series production<\/strong>, and a supplier lacking an automotive quality management system leaves you vulnerable to recalls, line interruptions and warranty issues. Engelhardt manufactures custom automotive rubber parts and automobile rubber components for OEM and Tier 1\/Tier 2 programs, combining a documented IATF 16949 process with in-house compounding, tooling and material testing.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div

AIAG&#8217;s CQI-28 traceability guideline exists for one reason: a single quality escape can otherwise force a recall across millions of vehicles. When a non-conformance does appear, traceability is what turns a fleet-wide recall into a contained, dated, single-lot correction \u2014 that is the cost avoidance behind the certification, not the certificate on the wall.<\/p>\n      <p class=\"eivg-note-text\">This cost will provide you a price signal too: <span class=\"eivg-highlight\">IATF-certified parts generally carry roughly 15\u201330% premiums over un-certified parts<\/span>. Comparing that to the cost of throwing away a rejected production lot of sealed parts \u2014 and in rubber-to-metal bonded parts: <strong>&#8220;the cost of a rejected part is already lost forever&#8221;<\/strong> because you cannot re-make bonded parts: the certified process is the most economical of the two, not the least.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div
