Summary:

In April, the Director of Procurement at Siemens Mobility (China) presented Liu Qi, a quality engineer at Lince Group, with a “Quality Inspection Authorization Letter.” With this authorization, Liu Qi is now officially empowered to represent Siemens’ Quality Department in conducting pre-shipment inspections of Lince Group’s export roof panels.

Since its establishment, Lince Group’s structural components business has comprehensively aligned itself with Siemens’ processes, technologies, and management practices, focusing on continuous improvement. The company has established robust capabilities in market expansion, technological R&D, process manufacturing, and management operations. It has mastered 22 advanced welding processes and possesses the expertise to design, perform simulation and analysis, achieve efficient manufacturing, and conduct testing and validation—covering materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and composite materials, from small structural components to complete vehicle bodies. Meanwhile, Lince Group is committed to cultivating a workforce of highly skilled craftsmen; over the years, it has trained a total of 72 international welding engineers and 348 internationally certified welders, bringing its overall welding proficiency to an internationally advanced level.

A comprehensive quality management system is established across the entire process—from raw material procurement and process‑plan development to personnel qualification review, critical‑process control, and in‑process inspections—ensuring end‑to‑end quality oversight from design inception through manufacturing and delivery. This system employs a “four‑fixed” approach: fixed personnel, fixed positions, fixed workstations, fixed equipment, fixed tooling, and fixed processes. The “Six‑Fixed” standards reinforce standardized, meticulous management throughout the production process. At the same time, a multi‑tiered inspection system—comprising self‑inspection, specialized inspection, project‑specific inspection, and customer‑side inspection—ensures that no stage is overlooked and no detail is ignored, upholding stringent quality requirements to guarantee long‑term product stability. As a result, our export‑grade top covers have maintained a flawless record for many consecutive years.

Mr. Jin, Director of Procurement at Siemens Mobility (China), stated that, “Lince Group’s product quality, as always, is trustworthy. We hope Lince Group will continue to uphold this standard and further deepen its strategic cooperation with Siemens. Taking Liu Qi as a representative, we look forward to cultivating more inspection professionals through a combination of targeted initiatives and broader outreach, thereby helping Lince’s quality‑inspection team advance on the global stage.”

Lince Group and Siemens on In 2007, a strategic cooperation framework agreement was signed, and the first locomotive roof was delivered the following year. Over the past 16 years of collaboration, Lince Group has cumulatively exported more than 2,000 Siemens‑compatible vehicle body components, including nearly 1,500 sets of roofs, which have been installed on Siemens locomotives and shipped to countries such as Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Finland.

Building on Lince Group’s strong reputation for product quality and reliable delivery in the Siemens market, the company’s international influence continues to grow, with overseas sales revenue rising year after year. Its portfolio of supporting products has expanded from structural components to encompass ventilation and cooling systems, gangways, sensors, and other related industries.
