Breathing new life into spare part bumpers

Case Background

This case study delves into our success with spare part bumpers. When certain automotive models from car manufacturers like Honda and Mitsubishi are discontinued, the molds responsible for producing their bumpers find a new home at Penne NV. This case study unveils the intricate process of reviving these molds and delivering top-notch spare part bumpers to meet market demands.

Background

As the automotive industry witnesses the discontinuation of production for specific models, the molds responsible for crafting their bumpers undergo a migration to Penne NV. Coming in from diverse locations all over the world such as Taiwan, China, the UK, USA, and Canada, these molds become the focal point for our commitment to providing spare part bumpers for discontinued vehicles. We take over all the worries of rebuilding and maintaining the molds.

Key Challenges

Dealing with molds from various corners of the globe poses a logistical challenge. Penne NV must seamlessly integrate molds from Taiwan, China, the UK, USA, and Canada into their production processes. Revitalizing aging molds is another challenge. The acquired molds have seen a full lifespan of production, requiring meticulous revitalization and refurbishment to ensure optimal performance. Optimizing the production process using these very large and complex, multi cavity molds also posed a significant challenge.
