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

Every business strives to perform faster and better, but this is especially critical in the rapidly changing automotive world. Fast response Time and again, our customers are surprised by the short lead times at VICTOR REINZ. We do this by employing all necessary experts in-house, from development to series production. Our design system is compatible with your in-house CAD system, whether it’s CATIA, ProEngineer, IDEAS, or Unigraphics. In addition, we can perform all the important validation tests on-site with our own equipment. As a result, handling times are greatly reduced, and we can deliver installation-ready cylinder head cover modules directly to your assembly line, based solely on environmental data. Smart combinations Form follows function – and fabrication – at VICTOR REINZ. During the design stage, close attention is paid to simplifying installation. We not only test different mounting options and sequences with FEA simulation, we also use mod-

ern prototyping procedures to build functional cover modules at a very early stage. When testing the specific sealing functions, these prototypes supply extremely valuable data. This enables us to determine in advance whether a cover module’s performance is maximized so that individual functions don’t require optimization later. Quality from the start Since approximately 70 percent of an automobile’s Components come from external suppliers, the quality of a vehicle depends greatly on the quality of the supplied products. 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 expertise has been valued by the European automotive industry for decades. From the MCC Smart to the Maybach V12 engine and the high-tech head gaskets for Formula One Racing engines, VICTOR REINZ

supplies complete gasket systems and cylinder head cover modules that are unmatched for quality and performance. 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.
