OEM Guide: India–Europe Controlled Sourcing Model

The controlled sourcing model separates production cost advantage (India) from buyer assurance (EU entity, documented QA, predictable escalation).

European OEMs retain specification authority while leveraging qualified foundry networks for casting and machining capacity.

Key control points: supplier qualification, in-process inspection, pre-shipment verification, and complete export documentation.

STALFE SAS operates this model with Paris HQ oversight and India operational capability through STALFE Private Limited.
