“ Even the tiniest car component we develop must be perfect before it ’ s installed in a car . We have a pokayokes process to diminish the margin of error as close to zero as possible ”

– Edgardo Roman , CEO of PWO Mexico
Technology and Innovations
Along with developing vast knowledge about how to make mechanical components for electric systems , security components for air bags and seats and system solutions for car frames and chassis , it developed new and innovative processes . PWO Mexico has achieved this by working closely with its clients and providers .
“ We know that without them [ suppliers ] we cannot grow because the demands and quality of the market are very high ,” said Mr . Roman .
The knowledge gathered from the manufacture of components has a vast array of other practical applications . For example , measurements can be taken of a component ’ s resistance to test installations within a system . It ’ s also useful to program the control mechanisms of the CNC machines used to build tools and prototypes .
Capitalizing on PWO-AG ’ s 90-year tradition in building metal components , PWO Mexico is an heir to top manufacturing , forming , connection , assembly , surface and testing technologies .
In manufacturing , PWO Mexico utilizes precision , forming and connection technologies to perform many processes , like stamping , MIG soldering and structural bonding , among many others . It also has access to automated assembly technology .
