How We Helped an Automotive Manufacturer Find the Perfect Gas Spring Replacement

A leading automotive parts manufacturer needed a reliable, cost-effective gas spring replacement that matched their technical specs and fit their production process. We partnered to deliver a tailored solution through collaboration and problem-solving.

The Client’s Core Needs

They required a replacement gas spring for automotive components with:

  • Specific force and dimensional requirements

  • Fixed, non-removable end connections

  • Consistent performance to replace their current supplier

Collaborative Problem-Solving

Streamlining Sample Logistics

To analyze their existing part, we addressed shipping challenges together. They initially considered costly pallet packaging, but we proposed secure cardboard packaging—reducing weight from 20lbs to 2.2lbs and cutting shipping costs. Close coordination ensured safe, on-time delivery.

Finding the Right Fit

Our team analyzed their sample, then developed two prototypes:

  • Sample A: Exact replication of their original design

  • Sample B: Our optimized standard design

They chose Sample A for its precise match, validating our focus on meeting their unique specs.

Beyond the Product: End-to-End Support

We supported every step post-approval:

  • Provided advance samples with PPAP docs to speed up their approval

  • Coordinated shipping

  • Aligned production timelines for a smooth transition

Why This Partnership Succeeded

  • Listening First: Prioritized understanding their challenges

  • Attention to Detail: Addressed every specification, big or small

  • Flexibility: Adapted quickly to their needs
