The Operations Department is responsible for production of key components and full transmissions. Within one factory we are organized as sub factories, each performing as a self-managing team, responsible for their own production, maintenance, quality and the continuous improvement of their processes. This nurtures an engaging and motivating culture, resulting in sub factories treating each other as customers.
This department includes all activities, which aim at supporting the Operations and R&D departments. Functions on all levels can be found here in the teams: Finance, Legal, Sales, Marketing, IT, Project Management Office, Product Management, Quality, Purchasing, Health-Safety-Environment, Facility, Supply Chain, Warehousing, Protoshop, Canteen, Staff General and HR.
Research & Development is rooted in Punch Powertrain´s very genes. Spread across the six sites worldwide, around one in four employees of Punch Powertrain is active in R&D. In the past years a strategic expansion plan of the department has been implemented, resulting in creation of new test centers, test tracks and installation of state-of-the-art equipment and processes.
