Customer audits: why the logos matter
These cards are the SQA events behind the logos: Schneider metallic-coating and EHS audits, Kostal CQI-11, Suzuki Japan PPAP release, Maruti CQI-11. OEM programmes we support also include SpaceX and Israel Defence. That is the commercial reason to shortlist SM Finishes as a hybrid connector plating vendor in Bengaluru.
Schneider Electric India Pvt Ltd
Schneider audited SM Finishes on metallic coating (Technical Audits V1) and EHS risk assessment (V2016). For electronics and electrical connector programmes that is documented process capability, not a logo on a wall.
- Metallic Coating Technical Audits V1
- EHS Risk Assessment V2016
KOSTAL India Pvt Ltd
Kostal’s CQI-11 (3rd edition) plating-system audit is why automotive hybrid-connector buyers can treat SM Finishes as a CQI-11-capable vendor in Bengaluru — the same language OEMs use in RFQs.
CQI-11, 3rd Edition audit
JINRONG Precision Machinery Pvt Ltd
JINRONG completed an SQA Capability V2 audit of the Machohalli plant, confirming supplier quality systems for precision connector and related hardware.
SQA Capability V2 audit
ESCO Coupling & Transmissions Pvt Ltd, Belgium
ESCO released PPAP after development and audit. Export-minded connector and precision-engineering customers can see a European PPAP trail, not only an India domestic one.
Development, PPAP Audit & Release
SUZUKI Motor Corporation, Japan
Suzuki Motor Corporation (Japan) completed PPAP audit and release. Combined with AS9100:2015, this is the reason to specify SM Finishes as a hybrid connector electroplating supplier that can talk to Japanese SQA — without claiming uniqueness we cannot document.
PPAP Audit & Release
Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL)
Maruti Suzuki audited the plating system to CQI-11, 3rd edition. Indian automotive connector programmes that require MSIL-aligned plating process control can cite this audit in supplier selection.
