Frequently Asked Questions
Is RPK Group IATF 16949 certified?
Yes. RPK Group manufactures automotive components in accordance with IATF 16949 and supports the automotive quality workflow, including APQP and PPAP documentation. This applies to both springs and stamped and bent metal parts.
What automotive systems does RPK Group make components for?
RPK Group supplies springs and stamped metal parts for braking systems (disc, drum, parking, ABS/EBA, integrated brake control), powertrain, fuel injection (gasoline, diesel, and gas injectors), turbochargers, EGR, variable cam timing, steering, safety systems, pedals and pedal travel sensors, seats, thermal systems, transmission, and chassis. The company also supplies components for electric powertrain platforms.
Can RPK Group supply both prototypes and high-volume production?
Yes. RPK Group works with customer engineering teams from the prototype stage and scales the same part to high-volume series production on dedicated lines.
Does RPK Group manufacture in North America?
Yes. RPK Group operates a plant in Mexico that serves North America, alongside its plants in Spain. This supports local-to-local supply and shorter logistics chains for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in the region.
Which materials does RPK Group use for high-temperature automotive applications?
For high-temperature and corrosive environments such as EGR, turbo, and injection systems, RPK Group uses alloys such as Inconel, chrome silicon, and stainless steels, selected for the specific thermal and fatigue requirements of the part.
How does RPK Group help reduce the cost of an automotive component?
RPK Group reviews the design for manufacturability early, selects the right material and geometry for the load case, and avoids oversizing. The goal is the lowest total landed cost for a part that meets the durability and safety targets, not just the lowest unit price.
Who do I contact for an automotive RFQ?
You can send technical and quotation requests via the contact form on this page or directly to RPK Group's engineering and sales teams, who will route your request to the appropriate plant and account manager.
