FAQ
Common questions from France manufacturers
Can SAPL supply aluminium die casting components to France?
Yes. SAPL supplies precision aluminium die castings to French OEMs from our Chakan MIDC facility in Pune. We prepare all EU customs documentation — commercial invoice, country of origin certificate, CoC — and work with freight forwarders experienced in France import procedures. Sea freight to Le Havre or Marseille typically takes 20–24 days.
What die casting capability does SAPL offer for French automotive supply chains?
Five HPDC machines from 180T to 450T, capable of components from 150g to 1.5kg. Tolerances to ±0.1mm at casting, ±0.02mm post-machining. 100% in-process inspection at casting, machining, and coating stages. PPAP-aligned First Article documentation for new programme launches.
What quality certifications does SAPL hold?
ISO 9001:2015 certified (TUV Nord). Operating towards IATF 16949, expected September 2026. Certificate of Conformance, dimensional reports, and alloy traceability provided with every shipment.
Can SAPL supply fully machined and coated components to France?
Yes. Our standard European supply model is fully integrated: cast, machine, coat, inspect, pack. French OEMs receive finished components ready for assembly — not raw castings that require further processing. Single CoC, single contact, full traceability.
What is the process for starting a new supply programme to France?
Send us your drawing — 2D or 3D (STEP, DWG, DXF, PDF accepted). We return DFM review and commercial quotation within 72 hours. On approval, die design commences. First article qualification typically 8–12 weeks. Production supply lead time 6–8 weeks thereafter, including sea freight to France.
How competitive is Indian die casting pricing for French manufacturers?
Indian aluminium die casting from a certified manufacturer typically delivers 25–40% cost reduction versus equivalent French or European supply chains. Total landed cost — including freight, insurance, and import duty — remains significantly lower than domestic alternatives for most component categories.
