Since the Covid-19 pandemic, Rexlen has embraced transformative strategies to enhance its offerings and support its customers. These efforts include entering new markets, expanding production capabilities and establishing cutting edge facilities. A centerpiece of these advancements is Rexlen’s new cleanliness testing laboratory, specifically designed to meet the growing demands of the automotive industry.

Responding to industry challenges

The global economic disruption caused by the 2019 Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of adaptability. While Rexlen Corporation previously focused solely on export sales, the company has since recognised the potential of the domestic market. Leveraging its expertise in secondary processing technologies, the company has successfully served major clients in Taiwan, broadening the application of its fasteners beyond the automotive sector.

Simultaneously, global trade developments, such as the European Commission’s anti-dumping measures and increased tariffs on Chinese goods, prompted Rexlen to explore new opportunities in the Chinese market. The company’s strategy of continuous investment in infrastructure and talent development has positioned it to thrive amidst these challenges.

Setting new standards in testing

One of Rexlen’s most significant advancements is the establishment of a certified cleanliness testing laboratory. With the automotive sector increasingly prioritsing stringent cleanliness standards, Rexlen proactively responded by creating a laboratory capable of verifying product cleanliness to meet customer specifications and industry benchmarks.

“We recognised the importance of supporting our customers in ensuring their components meet rising cleanliness requirements,” states Rexlen. “This laboratory enables us to validate that cleaned products comply with both customer and regulatory standards, addressing a critical and growing demand within the industry.”

The laboratory’s cutting edge equipment, and certified processes, empower Rexlen to maintain the highest quality standards, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. This initiative complements the company’s TAF-certified laboratory, which has been enhanced with additional inspection equipment, including spectrometers and coordinate measuring machines, to support comprehensive quality control.

Unmatched expertise and comprehensive services

With over 47 years of experience in the fastener sector, Rexlen combines technical expertise with advanced manufacturing capabilities. The company offers a wide range of services, including multi-forming cold forging, CNC machining and secondary processing, supported by ISO and TAF accredited laboratories in Taiwan and China.

Rexlen’s specialisation in custom fastener solutions is further bolstered by its Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) process, which ensures each production stage meets or exceeds customer requirements. The company’s ability to innovate through cold heading and secondary machining techniques has also enabled it to deliver superior quality products with faster lead times and competitive pricing.

In addition to its manufacturing prowess, Rexlen also provides procurement services for additional components, leveraging its certified inspection facilities to guarantee quality and reliability, whether for in-house products or items sourced externally.

A commitment to excellence

“At Rexlen we are dedicated to delivering innovative, high-quality products and services,” the company concludes. “Our investments in facilities such as the cleanliness testing laboratory reflect our forward-thinking approach and commitment to exceeding customer expectations. With these advancements, we are well positioned to support clients worldwide with the solutions they need.”
