Always faster, always better – from the initial concept to series production
STREAMLINED PRODUCTION CYCLES

Every business aims to perform faster and better. But this is especially important in the fast-evolving automotive sector. How can we do it so quickly? Time and again, our customers are surprised by the short lead times at VICTOR REINZ. We do this by employing all the necessary experts in-house, from development to series production. Our design system is also compatible with your in-house CAD system, whether it’s CATIA, ProEngineer, IDEAS, or Unigraphics. In addition, we can also perform all the important validation tests on-site with our own equipment. By having all our resources in-house, we can greatly reduce handling times. As a result, based solely on the engine's specifications, we can deliver head gaskets directly to your assembly line, ready for installation. Smart combinations Aligning conventional development Tools with one other can result in significant time savings.

One example: At VICTOR REINZ we not only test the head gaskets with FEA computer programs – we also use modern prototyping procedures to build functional models at a very early stage. When testing the specific sealing functions, for instance, the prototypes supply extremely valuable data. This process enables us to determine in advance whether a head gasket’s performance is maximized, so that individual functions don’t require optimization later. Quality from the start Some 70 percent of an automobile's components come from external suppliers. This means the quality of a vehicle depends greatly on the quality of the supplied products. And because quality cannot be improved later, we understand that intelligent product design, exact planning, and compatible engineering from the start will ensure quality assurance in product development and manufacturing.

Partners with the best VICTOR REINZ’s know-how has been appreciated by the European automotive industry for decades. From the MCC Smart to the Maybach V12 engine to the high-tech head gaskets for Formula One Racing engines, VICTOR REINZ supplies complete gasket systems. Our aim is to continue partnering with the best, by providing top-quality products and service. See our reference list at www.reinz.com for details.
