Rutronik AUTOMOTIVE

Rutronik Automotive Business Unit. Discover Innovation in Motion.

The automotive industry is in a constant state of change, with electric vehicles, autonomous and connected driving, and security being the key issues impacting manufacturers and customers today. At the same time, the industry also drives innovation for numerous products that will sooner or later also be used in other fields, such as IoT or Industry 4.0.

The experts from Rutronik’s Automotive Business Unit (ABU) not only have extensive product knowledge. As a result of their collaboration with customers and Rutronik’s vertical positioning, they also gain skills that help them understand customer applications. This means customers see ABU as a consultant and intermediary who understands their challenges and provides them with the right information and component recommendations, as well as putting them in contact with other experts – be it the component manufacturer or an external consultant from our network.

Thanks to its networking activities within the framework of consulting, ABU maintains close ties with original equipment manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers – whether in engineering or manufacturing. In this context, Rutronik’s experts help with BOM analyses, among other projects, with the aim of guaranteeing maximum supply security or finding the most cost-effective solution.

Rutronik’s new logistics center and its planned expansion ensure that components will be available long into the future – this is particularly important in the face of an imminent shortage of components. The resulting supply security is an important factor for automotive OEMs when it comes to selecting supply chain partners.
