A long-standing customer relationship in Sweden is opening up new opportunities in China. Scania recently conducted a two-day audit at EWES in Dongguan.
Representatives from Scania's quality and supplier organisation recently visited EWES in Dongguan for a two-day audit. The aim was to evaluate the company's processes and capacity as part of Scania's work with potential suppliers in China.
The visit has an interesting connection to Sweden. EWES and Scania have worked together for many years, with EWES supplying spring solutions to Scania's Swedish operations. As Scania continues to develop its industrial operations and local supplier network in China, the established relationship provides a valuable foundation for continued dialogue.
Quality throughout the process
During the audit, EWES had the opportunity to show its processes, its quality work and how the company manages projects all the way from prototype to series production. One area that received positive feedback was EWES' structured work with APQP and the documentation throughout the process, from prototype to series production.
The audit also identified areas with potential for further improvement. The team in Dongguan will now continue working on these as part of the ongoing qualification process.
The same EWES, wherever we are
For EWES, the visit is about more than a single audit. It shows the importance of combining local manufacturing and expertise with the experience, quality culture and long-term relationships built up within the EWES Group.
The next step is to continue the improvement work and prepare the operation for further evaluation.
And even though there are thousands of kilometres between Bredaryd and Dongguan, our way of working is the same: together, we constantly develop to deliver reliable spring solutions.
