Against the backdrop of accelerated restructuring in the global automotive industry chain, Brazil, the largest economy in South America, has become a new frontier for global enterprises. AYA Fasteners, a company specializing in the fastener industry, recently announced its official entry into the Brazilian market. Leveraging its customized solutions and technological innovation advantages, the company aims to deeply participate in the transformation and upgrading of Brazil’s automotive manufacturing and new energy industries. This strategy not only demonstrates AYA’s ambition for global expansion but also injects new momentum into the development of Brazil’s local industries.
Brazilian Market: A Manufacturing Powerhouse with New Energy Potential
Brazil, supported by its robust industrial foundation, abundant resource reserves, and policy backing, has emerged as the core hub of South American manufacturing. Data shows that Brazil’s annual automotive production capacity exceeds 1.2 million vehicles, with the State of São Paulo hailed as the “12th largest automotive production base in the world,” hosting international brands such as Volkswagen, Fiat, and General Motors, as well as local enterprises like Agrale and Marcopolo. Meanwhile, the Brazilian government is vigorously promoting the new energy industry, planning to increase the share of clean energy to 45% by 2030. Cities like São Paulo and Curitiba have formed new energy vehicle manufacturing clusters, driving sustained growth in demand for high-strength, lightweight fasteners.
AYA Fasteners’ market research has identified a particularly urgent need for customized components in Brazil. On one hand, local automotive brands such as Troller and Engesa, which specialize in special-purpose vehicles, require fastening solutions adapted to complex working conditions. On the other hand, new energy vehicle manufacturers like BYD and Chery are accelerating their layout in Brazil, demanding higher-performance fasteners for core components such as battery packs and motors that are corrosion-resistant and heat-resistant. Additionally, Brazil’s geographical advantage as a manufacturing hub (covering markets in South America and Africa) provides a strategic pivot for AYA Fasteners’ global supply chain layout.
AYA’s Core Competence: Customized Fastener Solutions
Facing the diverse needs of the Brazilian market, AYA Fasteners’ core strength lies in “precision customization.” Unlike standardized products, AYA offers one-stop services from design to mass production, with solutions covering four key dimensions:
Technical Customization: Breaking Industry Bottlenecks
AYA Fasteners can customize non-standard dimensions and special-structured fasteners according to customer needs, such as lightweight titanium alloy bolts for new energy vehicles or high-vibration-resistant nuts for off-road vehicles. Its material library includes stainless steel, alloy steel, titanium alloy, etc., and surface treatment technologies (such as Dacromet and hot-dip galvanizing) enable products to withstand harsh environments like humidity and salt spray, significantly extending service life.
Process Assurance: Dual Systems of APQP and PPAP
AYA Fasteners integrates the automotive industry’s APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) and PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) into the entire production cycle, ensuring consistency from requirement analysis and design validation to mass production. For example, in a project with a major automaker, AYA optimized the torque parameters of fasteners through three rounds of prototype testing, increasing assembly efficiency by 15% and reducing failure rates by 20%.
Cost Optimization: Cost-Effectiveness from the Design Stage
AYA fasteners reduces component quantities through integrated design (such as multifunctional composite fasteners), helping customers cut material and assembly costs. data shows that its customized solutions can save automakers an average of 10%-20% in long-term maintenance costs.
Rigorous Quality Control: Safeguarding Product Quality
Each batch of purchased steel, alloys, and other raw materials undergoes rigorous testing, including salt spray tests and hardness tests, to ensure their chemical composition and physical properties meet design requirements. Only qualified raw materials proceed to production.
· In-Production Monitoring:
Advanced automated equipment and high-precision testing instruments are used to monitor and control key indicators such as dimensional accuracy, thread quality, and surface roughness in real time. If quality deviations are detected, technicians intervene immediately to adjust production parameters and maintain consistency.
· Final Inspection:
Products undergo multiple rounds of sampling and full inspections. Sampling inspections follow international standards, randomly selecting a proportion of products for comprehensive performance tests (tensile testing, torque testing, fatigue testing, etc.) to simulate real-world usage conditions. For critical orders or high-precision requirements, full inspections are conducted to ensure 100% compliance.
To rapidly respond to the Brazilian market, AYA Fasteners has established a “technology + service” dual-engine team:
· Professional Team: Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration
The expert advisory team stationed in Brazil has over 10 years of industry experience, capable of adjusting design solutions for local climate, road conditions, and other factors. Additionally, a localized team of
quality control experts and customer service representatives ensures efficient communication from requirement gathering to after-sales support.
· End-to-End Service System: Full Lifecycle Coverage
AYA’s full-cycle service system encompasses needs assessment, product strategy development, after-sales tracking, and more. For example, after the 2025 FEICON exhibition, the AYA team visited over 20
customers in São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul, providing customized solutions for their production line pain points.
Future Outlook: Collaborating with Brazil to Expand South American Opportunities
AYA Fasteners views Brazil as a critical pillar of its global strategy. In the short term, it aims to capture market share in new energy vehicle components through customized solutions. In the long term, the company seeks to become the preferred supplier of industrial fasteners in Brazil and expand to neighboring countries like Argentina and Chile.
“AYA’s customization capabilities are being tested by Brazil’s diverse market,” said a company expert. “We look forward to developing innovative products adapted to South American conditions with localpartners, such as corrosion-resistant fasteners for biofuel vehicles or rust-proof coating technologies for tropical rainforest regions.”
Conclusion
In the wave of intelligent and digital transformation in manufacturing, AYA Fasteners uses technology as its spear and service as its shield, not only providing critical support for Brazil’s automotive industry upgrade but also aiming to set a “customization benchmark” in the global fastener market. As Brazil’s new energy industry chain matures, AYA’s deep investment may become a successful model for China-Brazil industrial cooperation. With its significant advantages in customized solutions, quality control, and localized service teams, AYA Fasteners is confident in establishing a firm foothold in Brazil, working hand-in-hand with local enterprises to drive the vigorous development of automotive manufacturing in Brazil and across South America, and writing a new chapter in the globalization of the fastener industry.
