Expansion Valve for Fiat Strada: Tempered Glass
This expansion valve for the Fiat Strada is specified around tempered glass, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is reorders that did not match the approved sample, or lead time that slipped twice before bulk started. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the REACH-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
