Forging Sub-Supplier to German Automotive Tier 1 and Tier 2 Component Manufacturers
Shivam Forge supplies EN 10204 3.1-certified rough and semi-machined forgings as a Tier 2/Tier 3 sub-supplier to German automotive Tier 1 component manufacturers — the machining shops, sub-assembly integrators, and specialty component builders who supply finished parts directly to VW Group, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis. Material grades: 42CrMo4, 20MnCr5, C45, 18CrNiMo7-6. IATF 16949 aligned quality, PPAP documentation support for your OEM submissions. CIF Hamburg/Bremerhaven or DDP delivery across Germany. Rajkot, India. Call +91-9265772827.
German automotive Tier 1 component manufacturers — the machining shops, sub-assembly integrators, and specialty engineering firms that supply finished, machined, and tested components directly to VW Group, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis — depend on reliable rough and semi-machined forging supply as a critical upstream input to their own OEM-facing production. Shivam Forge positions specifically as this sub-tier forging supplier: producing the rough or semi-machined forged blanks Tier 1 manufacturers finish, machine, and certify for direct OEM submission, rather than attempting to bypass Tier 1 relationships and sell finished parts directly to OEMs ourselves. This sub-supplier positioning lets Tier 1 manufacturers retain their OEM customer relationships and value-added machining/assembly work, while sourcing the forged blank input at the material and process cost advantage Indian forging supply delivers.
Rough forged blanks or semi-machined components supplied to your specified stock allowance, ready for your final machining, heat treatment finishing, or assembly operations before your own OEM submission and certification process.
Forged blanks for drive shafts, steering knuckles, control arms, and gear components (42CrMo4, 18CrNiMo7-6, 20MnCr5) matched to the material specifications VW Group, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis Tier 1 programmes require.
EN 10204 3.1 material test certificates provided with every batch, giving your quality team the documented material traceability needed to support your own PPAP submission and OEM material certification requirements.
Sub-supplier relationships structured to protect your OEM customer relationships — we supply the forged blank input, you retain the finished-part customer relationship, certification, and value-added manufacturing.
Production quality processes aligned to IATF 16949, with control plans, process capability studies, and dimensional inspection reports structured to feed directly into your own PPAP and OEM quality documentation package.
Statistical process control and batch traceability ensuring the consistency your own OEM-facing quality commitments depend on, since your finished-part reliability is only as strong as the forged blank input feeding your production.
Material test certificates per EN 10204 3.1 as standard, with 3.2 third-party witnessed certification available where your OEM customer's specification requires independent verification.
Consolidated ocean freight to Hamburg or Bremerhaven with onward inland transport to your facility anywhere in Germany, or DDP delivery for landed-cost simplicity, scheduled to your production planning requirements.
Germany's automotive Tier 1 component manufacturing base — the extensive network of machining shops, sub-assembly integrators, and specialty engineering firms that supply finished, tested, and certified components directly to VW Group, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis — represents an enormous and often underserved market for forging sub-supply, since much of the industry conversation around Indian forging export focuses on direct OEM relationships rather than the equally important role of supporting the Tier 1 manufacturers who actually hold most direct OEM component contracts and perform the value-added machining, heat treatment, and assembly work that turns a rough forging into a certified, ready-to-install automotive part.
This Tier 2/3 sub-supplier positioning offers German Tier 1 manufacturers a specific and valuable proposition: rather than asking them to risk their established OEM customer relationships by introducing an unfamiliar direct supplier into their supply chain, we supply the forged blank input at the material and labour cost advantage Indian manufacturing delivers, while the Tier 1 manufacturer retains full control over final machining, quality certification, and the OEM-facing relationship that represents their core business value. This is a fundamentally collaborative rather than competitive positioning — we succeed when our Tier 1 customers succeed in their own OEM programmes.
The practical documentation chain in this sub-supplier relationship matters considerably: our EN 10204 3.1 material certification must integrate cleanly into the Tier 1 manufacturer's own PPAP submission and OEM quality documentation package, since ultimately the material traceability an OEM's quality engineers review needs to trace back through the full supply chain, including our forging operation as the original material and process source. Getting this documentation interface right — consistent, complete, and formatted in a way that supports rather than complicates our customer's own OEM submissions — is central to being a genuinely useful sub-supplier rather than merely a low-cost blank source.
For German automotive Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers seeking a reliable forging sub-supplier to support their own OEM component programmes for VW Group, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Stellantis, Shivam Forge offers IATF 16949-aligned forged blank supply with documentation structured to feed your PPAP process.
