Based on target volumes, quality requirements, and cost objectives, we optimize products and production processes for maximum efficiency and profitability. By seamlessly integrating product development, automation, and manufacturing, we create a fully aligned end-to-end solution.
Product examples
Among other things, our portfolio includes the following:
Shifting systems and shift forks
For decades, we have been manufacturing highly precise shifting components in millions – fully automated – for numerous OEMs worldwide.
Parking lock assemblies
Mechanical parking locks, custom-made to customer specifications, used in powertrains of combustion engine, hybrid, and electrified vehicles.
Laser-welded assemblies
Our state-of-the-art laser welding processes ensure precise and durable joints, for example in guide housings, shock absorbers, or seat assemblies.
Assemblies for high-pressure injection systems
Our components for high-pressure fuel supply contribute to increased performance and efficiency of modern engines, with the highest manufacturing precision and reliability.
STIWAs vertical integration
From the initial idea to series production: Using state-of-the-art development, in-house prototype manufacturing, and highly automated production, we deliver precise, efficient, and future-proof solutions – all from a single source.
Our development team of over 50 experts covers all aspects of product and process development – from mechanical to mechatronic engineering. By combining state-of-the-art analysis methods with practical testing capabilities, we ensure the highest efficiency and innovative solutions.
Within our state-of-the-art prototyping environment, including a cleanroom facility, we offer comprehensive technologies to support innovative products from development through production to extensive testing. Our testing capabilities cover mechanical stress tests, leak and burst tests, as well as electrical voltage and resistance measurements. This ensures the foundation for reliable, high-quality series products — with prototype volumes of up to several thousand units per week.
The production of individual parts – from stamped and plastic components to precision-machined parts – is carried out directly in-house at STIWA. Our deep manufacturing expertise allows us to fully understand component interactions and respond with maximum flexibility to product optimizations and changes. This enables us to quickly and efficiently meet customer requirements and technical adjustments.
Thanks to the highly automated solutions of our sister company STIWA-Automation, we achieve the fastest cycle times and ensure the lowest total costs as well as the highest quality through 100% in-line testing.
To ensure our products meet the highest quality standards, we offer all relevant testing procedures in-house. From cleanliness analyses and material inspections to mechanical durability tests, we cover the full spectrum.
Our goal is not only to develop solutions for current requirements but also to develop innovations that give our customers a decisive competitive advantage in the dynamic market.
Decades of experience & know-how
On more than 100 production lines, we manufacture more than 50 million products per year. STIWA Manufacturing excels in terms of maximum flexibility from small-scale series to large-scale production.
The high degree of vertical integration allows shortest feedback loops between the production of individual components and component assembly.
In the process, we rely on comprehensive, mastered in-house production technologies:
Top quality
Due to our decades of experience in the automotive supply industry and the respective quality awareness on automotive level (IATF-16949), we ensure that your products meet highest quality standards.
Your partner for high-performance production
STIWA is your competent partner, starting from product design and the fabrication of samples, prototypes, as well as small-scale series by means of semi-automated manufacture to fully-automatic production on appropriate assembly lines.
