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. Smart response If required, we can deliver installationready gaskets directly to your assembly line – based solely on the engine's design data. Our design system is compatible with your in-house CAD system, whether it’s CATIA, ProEngineer, IDEAS, or Unigraphics. 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. As a result, handling times are greatly reduced. In addition, we can perform all the important validation tests on-site with our own equipment. Smart combinations Ingenious matching of conventional development Tools to each other can result in significant time savings.

One example: At VICTOR REINZ we not only test and simulate entire Sealing systems with computers – we also use modern prototyping procedures to build functional models 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 gasket’s performance is maximized, so that individual functions don’t require optimization later. Nonetheless: Even something good can be improved 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.

From the MCC Smart to the Maybach V12 engine and the high-tech gaskets for Formula One racing, VICTOR REINZ supplies complete gasket systems that are unmatched for quality and performance.
