How important is supplier location for Tier 1 auto manufacturing?

How important is supplier location for Tier 1 auto manufacturing?

For the global Tier 1 auto parts supply chain, changes in tariff regimes in 2025 are likely to cause disruption, especially for US OEM automotive manufacturers. When seeking a long-term partnership for auto parts manufacturing, you need to work with suppliers who are located in places that have optimal trading and commerce relationships with your own country.

Supplier location has a very significant influence on the quality of manufacturing, reliability of communications and stability of supply. OEM manufacturers have been looking to ‘friendly shores’ for OEM supply chain partnerships since at least 2022, and the quest for the best, and most business-friendly, supplier location is accelerating with expectations of punitive tariffs.

Tier 1 auto parts manufacturers increasingly rely on manufacturers based in highly developed, friendly shores, including Japan, Taiwan and the EU. SH Auto Parts is based in Taiwan, a global engineering success story with a strong reputation for very high quality manufacturing and internationally recognized as a friendly location for your business commitments.

What is the value of experience for Tier 1 automotive suppliers?

Experience comes with longevity, and longevity indicates dependability, reliability, and competency in any automotive supply chain partnership. In the highly competitive market that competes to be part of the automotive supply chain, you have to demonstrate these values as a minimum to be a serious contender for Tier 1 auto parts manufacturing.

SH Auto Parts has been manufacturing car suspension components, control arms, ball joint assemblies and stamped and welded suspension parts for 45 years. Over this time we have established valuable supplier relationships and trading partnerships that enable us to offer total reliability to our customers alongside our enviable reputation for engineering excellence.
