Name under NDA.

Network production

Where network parts run.

Stratosteel contracts production across a certified network: the Slovak core plants under long-term agreements and further long-term EU partner plants. The network side has its own track record in the field.

Castings from our network run in major mining and construction OEM machines today. Heavy components for mining and off-highway equipment. That is network production, stated as exactly that: the foundry capacity behind a Stratosteel PO is the same capacity that serves those programs.

Qualification tracks

Tier 1 tracks under NDA.

No logo walls. Where there is no delivery yet, we say so. Current status, stated plainly:

Tier 1 tracksFour Tier 1 qualification tracks under NDA (marine, wind, rail, hydro), 2026. Engagements live, no delivery yet.
EnergyLive quotation work on turbine-class rotor machining for an energy OEM, 2026. Supplier-qualification invitation from a Tier 1 hydro OEM for welded hydromechanical components. Names under NDA.
RailLive RFQ work in rolling stock components. Quoting stage. Name under NDA.
Mining, energy, heavy equipmentTier 1 OEMs in these sectors are targets. They are listed nowhere on this site as customers.

When a track becomes a program, it moves up this page. Not before.

Active parts

Real parts, stated plainly.

Customer details stay anonymous. The parts do not.

More parts

Machined, cast, assembled.

A cross-section of work off the network floor and our partner plants. Names under NDA, parts shown as delivered.

Names stay under NDA, but the people behind them do not have to. Reference calls are arranged under mutual NDA at qualification: name the sector and the part family that matters to you, and we ask the customer whose programme is closest. If they agree, you speak to them without us on the line. If they decline, we say so rather than substitute a weaker name. How that works →

Quality system

One quality owner. Escalation to the Managing Director.

Whatever route a part takes through the network, we own responsibility for the result. One contract, one quality owner.

Documentation

EN 10204 3.1 material certificate is the standard, 3.2 with third-party witness on request. Dimensional report with CMM trace. Heat treatment records. melt-and-pour origin documented for tenders, EU-only routes on request.

Inspection

NDT per specification: UT, MT and PT in the network, RT via an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. CMM dimensional inspection on critical parts. Inspection and test plan agreed before production starts, not after.

Accountability

Named quality owner per order. Nonconformities reported to you, not hidden. Critical findings escalate to the Managing Director personally, with a corrective action and a date.

Certifications

Audit us

What an audit with us looks like.

Four steps. Document package first, plant visit by appointment, dates agreed at the start, arranged through us.

STEP 1

Document package

NDA if you want one, then certificates, quality manual, organization and process overview. Sent within days, not weeks.

STEP 2

Plant visit

Open floor. You see the machines, the people and live parts in process. Any plant, any day, by appointment.

STEP 3

Live traceability check

Pick any part on the floor. We pull its material certificate, route card, inspection records and NDT reports while you watch.

STEP 4

Findings and closure

Findings logged, corrective actions with owners and dates.

Audit later. Test first.

The cheapest verification is a pilot RFQ: 1 to 3 drawings, firm number in 3 to 7 working days.
