Precision Molding for the Automotive Supply Chain.
Supporting Tier 1 & OEMs with IATF 16949 compliant molds and parts. From complex interior trim requiring flawless surface finishes to under-the-hood precision components.
Validated Systems
Built on IATF 16949 Standards
Automotive quality requires more than just good parts. It requires a validated system that guarantees consistency and traceability.
IATF 16949 Certified
All automotive projects are produced in facilities fully certified to the IATF 16949:2016 standard for automotive quality management.
IMDS Registration
We manage the International Material Data System submission process, ensuring full material compliance and transparency.
PPAP Level 3
Comprehensive documentation packages provided, including Control Plan, FMEA, and full Dimensional Reports for Level 3 submission.

Project Management
We Manage the APQP Process
Vanshol engineers lead the Advanced Product Quality Planning to prevent failure, ensuring your documentation is as robust as your parts.
DFM & Feasibility
Identifying 'Class A' surface risks, sink marks, and gate locations early in the design phase.
DFMEA / PFMEA
Analyzing potential failure modes in design and process before steel is cut (What could go wrong?).
MSA (Gage R&R)
Verifying measurement system accuracy to ensure data integrity during validation.
SPC Study
Confirming process stability with CPK > 1.33 on critical dimensions for PPAP approval.
Automotive Grade Materials & Textures

Functional / Under-hood
Surface Finish & Textures
We achieve premium visual and tactile quality through advanced EDM and chemical etching processes. We are experienced in matching global automotive standards.
- Mold-Tech certified texture matching.
- VDI 3400 standard EDM finishes.
- SPI High Polish (A1, A2, A3) for optical parts.
Resolving Warpage in a Long Glass Fiber Door Panel
The Challenge
Tier 1 client faced severe warpage (>3mm) on a 600mm door trim using PP+LGF material, causing assembly failure.
The Solution
Vanshol utilized Moldflow to optimize gate locations and designed a custom post-molding cooling fixture (jig) for stabilization.
The Result
Achieved flatness tolerance within +/- 0.5mm globally. PPAP approved on first subsequent submission.
