Manufacturing Process & Quality Control

JABIL supplies tire protection chains through established production resources. We review the manufacturing requirements and inspection points for each order, from material identification through final packing.

Material traceability

Material Selection & Traceability

Material selection, component use and traceability requirements are confirmed for each order; no single grade is implied for every chain.

Typical manufacturing route

From forged components to a complete chain

The six stages below describe a typical route shown in the product catalogue. Actual operations, heat treatment and checks depend on the confirmed chain and order.

Material Control & Cutting

Material identity and cutting requirements are set for the order.

Heating & Forging

Wear components are heated, forged and trimmed.

Weaving & Welding

Rings and wear components are assembled; required joints are welded.

Heat Treatment

Heat treatment is applied where specified for the order.

Cleaning & Coating

Components are cleaned and finished as specified for the order.

Final Inspection & Packing

The finished chain and packing are reviewed against agreed requirements.
