Mercedes-Benz AG Berlin transferred to Cugir the OM611 project, which provides an annual output of about 860,000 pieces. The project is equally synonymous with the creation of 30 jobs.
STC becomes the supplier of a series of parts for the front automatic gearbox mounted on A-Class and B-Class vehicles, through the CVT project.
It is the year when the manufacturing line for camshaft – NWR (for Smart, OM660 diesel engines) was transferred from Hamburg to Hall 4 in Cugir. This was the moment when the camshaft started to be produced using a new STC technology: the hydraulic tensioning process (at a pressure of 3,000 bar).
STC portfolio gained two important orders in 2007: the X62 project from JTEKT and the chain wheels for M276/M278 from Mercedes-Benz AG.
Between March and June 2007, renovation works took place at Hall 5 in Cugir. It is where “STC ESTIVAL 2007”, the annual party dedicated to the STAR TRANSMISSION employees, was organized.
The official opening of Hall 5 in Cugir took place in October 2007. It was the month when the first components and devices were also delivered to Mercedes-Benz AG. The shipment permit for the cargo was symbolically signed by all those involved in the production of materials.
