Supplying Hyundai Kia

Hyundai and Kia are still heavily reliant on a series of core suppliers operating within the Hyundai Motor Group (HMG). As the OEMs have extended their respective global manufacturing footprints, they have displayed an overwhelming preference for using these suppliers as they too have expanded their respective manufacturing networks. Where these internal suppliers cannot deliver the required parts, the OEMs have further demonstrated a preference for working with other South Korean companies, to the detriment of other national and international suppliers.

Hyundai has announced that it is expecting profit and related sales to stagnate over the last two years. To maintain the market momentum seen over the past five years, the OEMs have noted that it will be critical to improve vehicle quality and increase fuel economy by developing technologies within these areas, together with wholly individual technologies which increase overall desirability. Suppliers within HMG have some expertise with technology development, but despite recent investment across the global R&D network, Hyundai and Kia do not have the capacity to deliver each and every ground-breaking function and feature.

Supplying Hyundai Kia reviews all areas of activity across the two OEMs, including best-selling models, platform usage, related production strategies, quality, supply chain, and areas of technology development. Using this information, it should be possible to understand in which areas Hyundai and Kia will be looking to apply new and innovative technologies and the areas where suppliers can plan to carry out future technology investigations which could prove of interest to the OEM.

To support this, Supplying Hyundai Kia outlines how the internal supply chain is arranged, the overall supplier selection process, related information covering the internal development process and the potential for securing new and repeat business. If your company is interested in doing business with the fifth-largest automotive group, this report should prove invaluable in helping to define a successful business strategy.
