For those unfamiliar, VDA 6.3 is a process audit standard developed by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (Verband der Automobilindustrie). It's used extensively by leading automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers worldwide to evaluate and ensure the performance of production processes across the supply chain.

The standard assesses an organization's ability to consistently deliver high-quality products and services by focusing on seven key process elements, including:

• Project management

• Product and process development

• Serial production

• Customer service

• Supplier management

• Process monitoring

• Continuous improvement

By becoming certified VDA 6.3 auditors, our Mexico team has elevated their capability to internally audit, diagnose, and improve processes, ensuring they meet the rigorous expectations of our automotive customers.

At Rompa Group, we serve some of the most demanding markets in the world  and automotive sits right at the top. With strict safety regulations, performance expectations, and process requirements, automotive manufacturing demands an extraordinary level of precision, discipline, and agility.

That's why VDA 6.3 certification is such a meaningful milestone. It's not just about ticking a box — it demonstrates that Rompa Mexico is fully aligned with best practices in global automotive production. It's a clear signal to our customers that we are:

✅ Proactive in our quality assurance
✅ Aligned with OEM expectations
✅ Equipped to identify and prevent process risks
✅ Continuously improving our operations

In an industry where even the smallest process deviation can lead to significant downstream issues, process control and risk mitigation are everything. Our certified auditors now have the tools to assess, control, and enhance our internal manufacturing operations more effectively than ever before.

Rompa Mexico has steadily built a reputation for technical excellence, customer dedication, and manufacturing reliability. Specializing in precision injection molding and complex automotive assemblies, the site produces high-performance components like:

• Sensor housings for engine and vehicle monitoring systems

• Custom-molded bobbins used in electromagnetic components

• Plastic subassemblies that integrate seamlessly into vehicle platforms

These components are not only essential for vehicle safety and performance — they're also required to meet stringent regulatory and customer-specific standards across multiple geographies.

Thanks to the team's dedication, Rompa Mexico has become an essential contributor to Rompa Group's global supply chain, serving major OEMs and Tier 1s with both agility and quality. Now, with VDA 6.3 certification in their toolkit, they're poised to support even more complex programs with confidence.

No major achievement happens in isolation. We would like to extend a special thank you to our training partners at AME Consultoría, whose support and expertise were instrumental in preparing our team for the VDA 6.3 certification.

Their guidance helped ensure not just successful completion of the program, but also meaningful knowledge transfer that will continue to benefit our operations for years to come.

What's Next?

With Rompa Mexico now VDA 6.3 certified, we are better positioned than ever to:

• Audit and optimize our internal processes for efficiency and quality

• Support automotive programs from prototype to serial production

• Win new business by demonstrating compliance with industry expectations

• Strengthen cross-site collaboration within the Rompa network

This certification also feeds into our broader digital and operational excellence roadmap, which includes investments in automation, data-driven quality systems, and sustainable manufacturing initiatives.

At Rompa Group, we don't treat quality as a department we treat it as a culture. Whether it's a tooling technician on the shop floor, a project manager overseeing a launch, or an auditor reviewing process controls, everyone contributes to the high standards our customers expect.

The VDA 6.3 certification of our Mexico team is a perfect example of this philosophy in action. It shows what we can achieve when we empower our teams, invest in capability building, and focus on delivering value through excellence.
