Vibracoustic strives for technological leadership in the market, combining superior quality and competitive prices. In order to continue with this successful strategy, the company launched a project called “Customer Dialog” aimed at the sustained expansion of customer satisfaction. With regard to research and development, Vibracoustic developed new production methods to market maturity in 2003. One such project is a joint development with Freudenberg Research Services involving a new hot air welding method to integrate connecting parts in intake systems, substantially reducing process times.

Vibracoustic associates implemented 17 projects under the “We all take care” initiative. The measures produced immediate success: the number of notifiable accidents per 1,000 employees fell from 13.6 to 8.4.

Vibracoustic expects a further rise in sales of around 4 percent for the current financial year. The Engine Mounts and Intake Systems Divisions will be restructured. Vibracoustic also plans to move forward with globalization, acquiring global customer projects with its Asian and American partners and intensifying utilization of the sites in China and India.
