Transportation

The automotive sector has always been a fast-paced, dynamic environment. However, over the last decade, we’ve seen the average program life cycle shortened from roughly eight years to four, placing tremendous pressure on the Tier suppliers to compress timing of new product launches.

This is when it’s critical to have a fastener supplier who understands the automotive world.

At the Gexpro Services Automotive Center of Excellence (ACE), our team will work directly with your engineering department to develop the best fastener solution for your new product launches. Prototypes can be produced quickly with our advanced in-house manufacturing capabilities. Then, as the program moves from PPAP into production, our global footprint ensures we’re able to support your manufacturing operation at the local level.
