Manufacturing Excellence

Our people make the difference..

Safety has been built into our traffic product portfolio since its introduction over 50 years ago.  This key principle of everything we do at Unipart Dorman starts with understanding the customer need - and follows on through design and product testing, to our manufacturing processes, where the most important link in the chain is the skilled operators who build our products from component level to full assembly at our facility in the North West of England.  We are justifiably proud that our ethos of manufacturing excellence, driven by an overriding safety culture is deeply embedded within the business. 

Only using high quality suppliers and a digital tracking system within the factory delivers complete traceability.  The ‘Model Line’ is an innovative approach to manufacturing developed using the Unipart Way tools and techniques of in depth analysis of the process to identify and then sustainably eliminate waste.  The whole operation from delivery of individual components to the line, through assembly and test to pack and despatch is digitally monitored and gives complete visibility across the business - which in turn enables Unipart Dorman to save money and time but also to respond quickly and accurately to the ever changing customer need.  

Unipart Dorman products have always had an excellent reputation in the marketplace, based upon their reliability, quality and high level of safety integrity borne of the very best design and manufacturing capability.  This is validated regularly by customers and regulatory institutions carrying out factory audits and from our extensive use of independent test houses and Notified Bodies during the compliance elements of introducing a new product to the market.
