From the initial idea to the finished product—our experienced staff are your partners and will actively support you with extensive expertise from projectdefinition through projectexecution to completion. We incorporate our knowledge and experience in the field of productdevelopment into our consulting and support services. Above all, our development expertise in press-fit technology offers significant added value to customers who have had little or no prior experience with this technology. We see ourselves as your partner, working alongside you to optimize your sophisticated connector.
Short decision-making paths and in-house expertise enable rapid communication and implementation. We identify risks early on and minimize them. The “zero-defect” goal, as defined by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF), is our commitment. We achieve our project goals with the required quality, by the agreed-upon deadlines, and within the defined budget. To consistently achieve this, we maintain a highly professional and robust project management system in accordance with IATF 16949 (APQP) guidelines. As your supplier, we strive to deliver your desired results consistently and competitively.

Reliable processes in the manufacture of connectors for the automotive industry
Quality and reliable processes are top priorities at ept. Our continuous project management (APQP) for product and quality planning is integrated into the entire product development process. Right from the start of our collaboration, we focus on minimizing risks and ensuring the highest level of quality—whether it’s a feasibility study (feasibility study), tooling production, or initial sampling (initial sample inspection). To ensure early defect prevention, we work with FMEA’s (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) from the very beginning, taking your specifications and our experience into account.
What is APQP?
Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) ensures that the focus on product quality begins as early as the definition and product development phases. It is a structured process for planning product quality in advance and eliminating potential future production defects.
The goal: to identify necessary changes during development, prevent defects, and reliably meet customer requirements even before the product enters series production.
What is the CPK value?
The metrics Cpk, Ppk, and machinecapability (Cmk) describe the ability to achieve a desired result. The Cpk value is the most important metric for describing process capability: it provides information about the spread of the data as well as its relative position with respect to the tolerance limit(s).
Our strengths: reliability, on-time delivery, and consistent quality
Our customers value and trust our reliability, on-tion-time delivery,and the consistently high quality of our connector. We ensure this through in-process testing based on the results of FMEA analyses and through secure and robust processes. Should a defect nevertheless occur, we conduct a comprehensive failure analysis using state-of-the-art methods and consistently implement corrective measures.
