Aluminum Casting and Stamping for OE and Tier Supply Programmes
Programme manufacturing for buyers who arrive with a drawing, a sample or a print rather than a catalogue number.
The problem
What Goes Wrong Today
- A development part needs a factory that will tool from a sample without a minimum order the size of a full programme
- Quality systems have to be documented before the first PPAP conversation can start
- Casting and stamping are quoted by different suppliers, so the programme owner carries the interface risk
- Capacity has to be credible before a buyer will place a multi-year line
The answer
What RUIFAN Puts Against It
- The original RUIFAN catalogue states the factory develops oil pans and other aluminum castings from customer-supplied samples or drawings
- Quality systems recorded on the original site: ISO 9001 and TS 16949
- Stamping and casting under one roof: deep and shallow draw stamping, die casting, sand casting and gravity casting
- Stated annual oil pan output of 500,000 pieces
Typical buyers
Who This Covers
Vehicle manufacturers, tier-one and tier-two suppliers, and engineering buyers running development programmes.

Delivery Routes for This Segment
Replacement Oil Pan Programmes
Running a replacement pan programme from the first number on a quote request to a packed, marked and shipped container.
Custom Aluminum Casting
For parts that are not in the catalogue. The original RUIFAN site stated the factory develops oil pans and other aluminum castings from customer-supplied samples or drawings.
Engine Support and Bracket Supply
Twenty-one engine supports, brackets and gearbox covers sit in the same catalogue as the pans, mostly against VW and GM references.

How to Read an OE Oil Pan Number
Reading VW-group, Toyota 12101, Honda 11200 and PSA oil pan numbers, and what each segment actually tells you about fitment.
Oil Level Sensor Hole Variants and Why They Matter
Why two pans with almost the same number are not interchangeable when one has an oil level sensor boss and the other does not.
Questions From OE and Tier Supply Programmes
Does RUIFAN supply oe and tier supply programmes directly?
Yes. Vehicle manufacturers, tier-one and tier-two suppliers, and engineering buyers running development programmes. The factory quotes and ships directly rather than through an intermediary.
What is the smallest order you will take from this kind of buyer?
Minimum order quantity was not recorded in the archived catalogue and is agreed per programme. It depends mainly on whether references run alone or alongside other lines in the same family.
Can you cover a whole number family rather than the fast movers?
That is what the catalogue is built for. Blocks holding a single reference — Ford, Volvo, Opel and Mercedes-Benz — are published in full rather than dropped.
What identification data comes with the parts?
Whatever the original catalogue database stored: OE number, alternate numbers, notes and vehicle application tables. Twenty records carry alternates and six carry application tables. Where nothing was stored, the page says so.
What if a reference we need is missing entirely?
The original RUIFAN site stated the factory develops oil pans and other aluminum castings from customer-supplied samples or drawings. A sample is enough to open the conversation.
