ARMOR HELPS ONE OF ITS GLOBAL AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLIERS / CUSTOMERS TO REFINE AND REVAMP ITS VCI USAGE FOR SUCCESS
Customer:
Large, global automotive supplier
Type of Industry:
Automotive
Problem:
This supplier produces automotive parts including ABS brake modules, steering components, and suspension mechanisms for major OEMs and ships them both in the U.S. and internationally. While the company was actively using VCI products, there was a lack of understanding on the company’s side as to how the packaging worked. The result was inadequate protection that at times allowed rust and corrosion to form.
ARMOR Solution:
ARMOR conducted several lab-controlled tests and made an on-site visit to learn more about the products and processes used by the company. The results confirmed that the level of VCI being used was insufficient for the protection desired. ARMOR developed a VCI solution that allowed for maximum corrosion protection for parts shipping both in the U.S. as well as to Europe, Asia and South America.
As one company representative stated, “the solutions proposed by ARMOR resulted in not only better VCI protection, but also presented a cost savings in material.”
Results/Savings:
This customer has enhanced its corrosion protection, which resulted in cost savings of materials, time and labor.
