TitanX Engine Cooling is a global supplier of powertrain cooling solutions to commercial vehicles, both for OEMs and the independent aftermarket. The company with annual sales of over 1.6 billion SEK (US$ 192 million) has some 800 employees worldwide. TitanX is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden and has manufacturing sites in Sweden, USA, Brazil, China and Mexico.
Its manufacturing facilities are designed and operated with a strong and continuous application of lean manufacturing principles, and they perceive themselves as a very flexible supplier. The production sites have a high level of vertical integration, including the manufacturing of key critical components to ensure the highest quality results. The production operations are continuously adjusted to meet variations in customer demand. The vision is to be the number one global supplier of powertrain cooling solutions to the commercial vehicle industry.
The facility in Sölvesborg consists of three zones; a raw material warehouse, a shop floor, and a finished goods warehouse. TitanX generally keeps high inventory levels of raw material and finished goods. An important reason for this is the marketing strategy to increase the current market share above 30% of the independent aftermarket for truck engine cooling systems. Therefore, high customer service levels and high efficiency are key performance measures that drive high capacity and stock levels.
