Being here in Las Vegas with leading innovators of the world in automotive sector, I am reminded of our journey. Years ago, when we were laying the foundation for Steelbird, I had a vision: to bring world-class automotive components that blend durability, precision, and cutting-edge design to the global stage. Exhibiting at AAPEX '24 is more than a milestone—it’s a testament to that vision and to every challenge & innovation that has shaped our journey. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐀𝐀𝐏𝐄𝐗 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐝 For me, AAPEX isn’t just an industry event; it’s where partnerships are built, trends are set and the future of automotive is shaped. Every handshake, every demo, every exchange here reinforces Steelbird’s commitment to driving the future of automotive components. But what excites me most? It is hearing firsthand from clients, partners & competitors. It is a rare chance to see our products from each other's perspective. It is these insights that fuel our drive to stay ahead of the curve in quality, design, and performance. If you are here at AAPEX, I invite you to stop by Booth No. A861. Let us talk about the road ahead, the challenges we face, and the innovations that will define the future of mobility. #AAPEX #Steelbird #automobile #ManavKapur

Due to the trend of automotive lightweighting and the focus on topics such as "plastic instead of steel," JZT, known for its precision plastic gears and other precision injection molding parts, has garnered attention in the market. Their main products, including automotive precision plastic gears and other precision injection molding parts, are well-regarded in China. One of their notable products is the high-strength automotive wiper system precision injection molded gear. It utilizes a new type of plastic with lower density and undergoes special structural treatment, resulting in gears that are not only lightweight and high-precision but also have a longer lifespan and higher strength. These high-precision gears are crucial components of the automotive transmission system, typically found in the wiper system under the car's bonnet. Through continuous research and development along with technological innovation, JZT has developed a range of high-quality, high-performance lightweight parts. This includes precision injection-molded gears and high-strength engineering plastics for accelerator parts, all of which meet the demands of well-known automobile brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, and GM.
