Zero Tolerance for Transit Damage

In the automotive industry, there is no room for compromise: every component must arrive at the OEM or assembly plant undamaged, clean and on schedule. Our automotive trays are built around this zero-defect philosophy — custom-made for a precision fit, secure fixation and optimal traceability.

We manufacture automotive trays for A parts (visible components with surface-quality requirements), B parts (functional, partially visible components) and C parts (standard parts, fasteners). The protection requirements vary considerably: while A parts often require anti-static, velvet-coated or flocked inserts, C parts call for high stacking density and logistics efficiency.

Our automotive trays are manufactured in accordance with VDA recommendations and the specific requirements of your OEM customer. On request, we develop load carriers for fully automated operations — compatible with conveyor systems, robotic picking and machine-vision systems.

We are an experienced partner for renowned automotive suppliers in the Sauerland region and the Ruhr area. Short distances, rapid response times and a deep understanding of automotive standards make Scafa Thermoforming your reliable packaging partner for the automotive industry.
