Let’s take a look at the automotive supply chain and how returnable packaging fits into the picture. A single car has about 30,000 parts, counting every part down to the smallest screws. One of our recent blog posts explains what Class A surfaces mean when it comes to automotive parts – these are only part of the equation when automakers and auto suppliers come to us for returnable packaging solutions.

Their entire supply chain factors into this equation heavily. There are OEMs and a tier system that is involved and layered. “First, let’s talk about the manufacturers. These firms are commonly referred to as OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), which is somewhat inaccurate. While these manufacturers produce some original equipment, their focus is on designing cars, promoting cars, ordering from vendors, and assembling the vehicles.

Enter the tier system. Tier 1, 2 and 3 suppliers. Tier 1 suppliers are companies that supply parts or systems directly to OEMs. These suppliers usually work with a variety of car companies, but they’re often tightly coupled with one or two OEMs, and have more of an arms-length relationship with other OEMs.

Many firms supply parts that wind up in cars, even though these firms themselves do not sell directly to OEMs.
These firms are called Tier 2 suppliers.
Tier 2 suppliers are often experts in their specific domain, but they also support a lot of non-automotive customers and so they don’t have the ability or desire to produce automotive-grade parts.

In the automotive industry, the term Tier 3 refers to suppliers of raw, or close-to-raw, materials like metal or plastic. OEMs, Tier 1, and Tier 2 companies all need raw materials, so the Tier 3s supply all levels.” Where does Amatech come in? We serve the OEM level, with reusable packaging mainly used in work in progress (WIP) applications.
