HBPO's Integrated Quality Management System
We work according to defined processes – in a very dynamic and fast-moving market, our “gate” structure sets out our scope of action. This framework is specified in our integrated quality management system. It goes without saying that we have different resources – such as document systems, testing methods and lots more besides – to support us.
Our assembly lines are the heart of our business
Our assembly lines are the heart of our business. Here, around 2,000 employees manufacture the modules of the HBPO product range – currently more than 5 million front-end modules every year. We are the global market leader in our field. A front-end module always comprises a front-end carrier and can include the active air flap control (Active Grille Shutter), a cooling module, passenger protection systems, headlamps and a bumper cover, depending on customer requirements.
We have two decades of experience in the development, construction and assembly of front-end modules, which stands us in good stead for the development of other modules such as centre consoles and cockpit modules.
We are close to our customers and a strong partner
- We manufacture our modules and products at our locations using both line and box production. State-of-the-art quality control systems are in place to support production.
- We supply our customers just-in-sequence or just-in-time, depending on the product and module. We are experts in both these segments!
- We are logistics experts and work closely with reliable partners.
