Overview

Appliances combine high-volume stamped and deep-drawn sheet metal, injection-moulded plastics, die-cast parts and electro-mechanical sub-assemblies. Buyers expect consistent cosmetic quality, cost efficiency at volume and full substance compliance.

Türkiye is Europe’s largest producer of white goods, with major appliance plants and supplier clusters around Manisa, Eskişehir, Istanbul and Tekirdağ.

On Metraxio you describe the part, attach drawings and state material, finish and annual volume. The platform structures the requirement and shows which facilities are a technical fit.

Appliance programs run at high volume with strict cost targets, so tooling ownership, cycle times and consistent cosmetic quality matter. Stating annual volumes, surface finish expectations and whether tooling exists helps identify stamping and moulding facilities sized for series supply.

Typical parts & components

  • Stamped and deep-drawn cabinets, drums and panels
  • Injection-moulded housings, drawers and trims
  • Die-cast and machined motor parts
  • Wire and tube assemblies
  • Heating elements and brackets
  • Painted and enamelled panels
  • Electro-mechanical sub-assemblies

The processes, materials and requirements below are an editorial reference of what is typical for appliances & consumer durables programs — not a statement about facilities in the Metraxio network.

Typical materials & grades

Certifications & compliance

What buyers in this industry commonly ask suppliers for. Exact requirements depend on the program, customer and part.

Supplier certifications

  • ISO 9001 Typically required

    Baseline quality system.

  • ISO 14001 Common

    Required by most appliance brands.

  • ISO 45001 Sometimes requested

    Occupational health and safety.

  • ISO 50001 Sometimes requested

    Energy management.

Standards & regulations

  • RoHS Typically required

    Restriction of hazardous substances.

  • REACH Typically required

    Substance compliance in the EU.

  • CE Marking Common

    CE marking for complete appliances.

Quality & documentation

  • PPAP-style initial sample approval for series parts.
  • Cosmetic standards and colour matching for visible parts.
  • RoHS and REACH declarations.
  • Statistical process control on critical characteristics.
  • Lot traceability.

Typical tolerances & surfaces

  • Stamped parts: typically ±0.1–0.2 mm.
  • Moulded parts: tolerances per material and wall thickness.
  • Visible surfaces: cosmetic class agreed with samples.
  • Critical features tied to capability targets (e.g. Cpk ≥ 1.33).

Sourcing from Türkiye

Türkiye combines a deep contract-manufacturing base with short routes into Europe. Industrial goods move between Türkiye and the EU under the customs union, so buyers typically avoid EU import duties on qualifying parts.

  • Many European destinations can be reached by road within several days; actual transit depends on origin, destination, customs handling and cargo.
  • Common delivery terms are EXW, FCA and DAP; Metraxio keeps the agreed Incoterm attached to the quotation and order.
  • High-volume parts need tooling; plan tool design, trials and sample approval before the series start.

How Metraxio qualifies suppliers

Every request is checked against each facility's structured profile before any supplier is invited.

  • Hard criteria: the required process (e.g. stamping or injection moulding), the specified material, and compliance requirements such as RoHS.
  • Missing data is not a rejection. If a facility profile does not yet state something, the result is "Needs More Information" rather than "Not Qualified".
  • No match yet? You can continue with Managed Sourcing and the Metraxio team runs supplier discovery for you.
  • Facility identities stay anonymous during the technical assessment.

Example project

How a typical request moves through Metraxio

200,000 injection-moulded drawer fronts per year — ABS — DAP.

  • The buyer uploads 3D models and annual volumes for refrigerator drawer parts.
  • Metraxio structures the requirement: injection moulding, ABS, cosmetic class, RoHS and DAP delivery.
  • The fit assessment shows which facilities are qualified, which need more information and which do not match.
  • The buyer invites qualified facilities to a Supplier RFQ, or hands the job to Managed Sourcing.

Frequently asked questions

Can suppliers handle very high volumes?

Yes. Many suppliers run automated stamping and moulding lines for appliance volumes; state your annual quantity.

Who owns the tooling?

Typically the buyer pays for and owns the tooling; agree this in the commercial terms.

Are RoHS and REACH declarations provided?

Suppliers serving appliance brands usually provide them.

Can suppliers deliver sub-assemblies?

Yes. Assembly of electro-mechanical sub-assemblies is common.

Are supplier names visible during the assessment?

No. Facilities are shown anonymously during the technical assessment. Identities are shared as the engagement progresses.
