Today, the status of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) represents the pinnacle of automotive industrial supply. For us at Coram, this achievement is the evolution of a journey that began in 1957; today, we serve as a technical and operational extension of the world’s leading manufacturers of trucks, agricultural machinery, forklifts, earthmoving equipment, and defense vehicles.
Being a first-equipment partner means guaranteeing stability, innovation, and risk management that only a few global players can provide.
Financial strength and certified reliability in automotive component manufacturing
The validation of an OE Partner rests primarily on its financial reliability, an essential parameter for mitigating the risk of supply chain disruptions. The ratings and certifications that validate us are:
-
Rating 1 Cribis D&B: Maintaining maximum economic-financial reliability ensures manufacturers the peace of mind of a solid, long-term partnership.
-
IATF 16949:2016 Standard: We adopt this technical specification as a management system aimed at defect prevention and the reduction of production variability.
-
Continuous Quality: Thanks to over 30 years of ISO 9001 certification (the first certificate dating back to 1993), we ensure quality consistency monitored through Industry 4.0 processes and total traceability.
Co-design and co-engineering of steering columns
Our in-house Technical Office works in co-engineering with the client to optimize every millimeter of space and every gram of weight—crucial factors for the efficiency of modern vehicles.
Our products feature specific codes integrated into the original technical drawings of the vehicles. Furthermore, in our laboratories, we simulate extreme operating conditions, from stress tests for steering shafts to salt spray chambers for environmental corrosion resistance, guaranteeing the structural integrity of safety-critical components.
Global presence and “Local-for-Local” strategy in steering column production
To support multinational manufacturers, we operate on a global scale through production sites and logistics warehouses in Italy, Taiwan, India, Brazil, and the USA.
Our physical presence in key markets allows for an agile response to geopolitical instabilities and significantly reduces delivery lead times. Not only that! With an on-time delivery rate exceeding 95%, we support the fluidity of our partners’ production lines.
The future of automotive component manufacturing
We look toward the challenges of 2026 and beyond, adapting our solutions to new regulatory evolutions such as GSR2 for active safety and Euro 7 for emission reduction.
We support our customers’ decarbonization goals with a strategy aiming for a 55% reduction in emissions by 2030, and we develop components already prepared for electric vehicle technologies, ensuring that every solution is ready for the industry’s technological future.
Our ability to transform the customer-supplier relationship into a true technical symbiosis is what sets us apart. Beyond the technical drawing, we offer a strategic vision that guarantees operational resilience and constant innovation for leaders in the On- and Off-Highway industry.
