About Us

Based in Europe, Stoneridge Electronics AB is a part of the Stoneridge group, a leading independent designer and manufacturer of highly engineered electrical and electronic components, modules and systems.

The Stoneridge group has an annual turnover of close to $700 million and just over 6,000 employees, of whom 550 work at Stoneridge Electronics. We develop and produce vital and unique functions in the trucks, buses, industrial-, and agricultural-machinery of today and tomorrow, whilst maintaining development and production costs at a competitive level.

Our concentration on heavy vehicles has given us the right competence within our system, as well as a proper understanding of customers’ specific requirements for flexible solutions and short lead times. Because of these factors we have quickly become an important partner to the largest truck manufacturers in the world.

Stoneridge has built a strong reputation for developing innovative, reliable products such as instrument clusters, tachographs, telematic systems, driver information systems, electronic control modules, power distribution centers, and multiplex systems for the commercial vehicle and off-highway vehicle markets. We have a very close working relationship with our customers and suppliers. In fact so close that we

see ourselves as parts of the same team, and we think our success depends on it. We work on site, hands-on, in order to help you find the right solution on time. When extra capacity is needed, our knowledgeable Stoneridge colleagues and valued high-quality subcontractors stand by to assist us with their experience of similar problem-solving processes.

Our philosophy throughout the production is based on lean, waste free processes for manufacturing and all supporting functions, including our own material suppliers. We continually strive for “zero faults” and the manufacture of each and every individual unit in the most cost effective way. We utilize many of the leading cutting edge technologies in terms

of production lines, robot assembly, automatic test equipment and internal transport systems which enable us to efficiently manufacture electronic units in a safe, clean and operator friendly environment. With our production system, we have a very flexible tool which enables us to be able to handle a wide range of volumes.

The race to be excellent in providing world class technology, quality and logistics to the lowest price on a global basis is a hard balance for any company to achieve. Within Stoneridge as a whole we strive continually for Six Sigma in our design work, in order to facilitate flawless production and to fulfil our quality goals of problem-free deliveries. In the book Six Sigma for the Next Millennium, published by the American Society for Quality, you can find Stoneridge Electronics in the Six Sigma successes section, which describes the company’s multi-divisional Six Sigma initiative, providing training at all levels. From the floor up, all decisions and activities in manufacturing work according to the principle “always right from me”.

As vehicles become more sophisticated, their electronic content will continue to grow. The current global trend is toward multiplex vehicles with integrated power and data circuits that all must be monitored and kept in synchronization. This produces a lower-cost and more reliable vehicle, and provides a higher level of user information and diagnostics. It also requires manufacturers to include more electronic content in their vehicles. To take advantage of the latest technology shifts these customers need a

provider that knows how to integrate complex electronic systems using the latest technology.

Stoneridge is the second largest and fastest growing provider of digital tachograph systems, including worldwide systems support. Stoneridge develops, manufactures and provides a complete range of tachographs, calibration programmers, download tools and analysis software for workshops and fleet owners.
