Experienced partner for comprehensive solutions

Over the last 50 years, we have developed and delivered over 25,000 gearboxes, providing reliable, expert and flexible support for all vehicle types to clients worldwide.

With a focus on reaching a flawless understanding of customer needs, our multidisciplinary team collaborates with clients and suppliers to define the correct solution for each case.

As a part of CAF Group, we can draw on a wealth of experience, and apply it systematically in the development of next generation gearboxes. The Group’s international network and global footprint allows us to be close to our clients and fulfil any logistical requirement they may have.

Product quality and reliability guaranteed

Well-established implementation in the production system of LEAN Manufacturing Philosophy and KAIZEN Methodology enables us to provide our customers with state‑of‑the‑art product quality and competitiveness, in addition to lead-time guarantee.

Furthermore, our gearboxes are manufactured in flexible production cells. A highly trained workforce accompanies the gearbox along the entire assembly process, which concludes with complete end-of-line tests and quality control routines. Consequently, CAF MiiRA can offer the market the highest standards of reliability in our products.

We have utilised our years of experience to develop a comprehensive and reliable supply chain that provides us with advanced components produced under our strict design and quality requirements. Our Supplier Quality Assurance team works daily hand-in-hand with our in-house Laboratory of Materials and Metrology department in order to assess the highest levels of quality in our supply chain.
