BAYLOFF: Values

Who’s Your Most Trusted Supplier?
You’ve probably heard it a hundred times. It’s every supplier’s mantra…that corporate lingo about “commitment to service." But really, how do you get to be the best? We think it starts with doing things the right way, you don’t take shortcuts. And instead of learning the tricks of the trade, learn the trade. That’s our mantra, and one of the reasons our business is thriving.

For us, commitment to quality isn’t some cliché. It’s one of our core values because, unlike most other automotive suppliers, we’re a third-generation, family-owned business. We know better than most about the hard work and dedication it takes to succeed—especially in a highly competitive industry. But maybe the strongest endorsement for our service is what our customers have to say about us. So go ahead and ask. We’re proud of the companies we do business with and pleased to provide you with those references.

Our Partners Here and Abroad Make Us Successful
To be successful in business today, partnerships are an essential fact of life. In our case, we regard everyone involved in the process as invaluable parts of the whole—that means our suppliers and employees are all crucial partners in our mission. But it starts with a clear commitment to serving our customers. We are dedicated to continuously improving our product and process through engineering and technology in order to lower costs and raise efficiency. And we align ourselves with capable, like-minded companies. Our Asian tool making affiliate, NARA Mold & Die of Korea, is a good example. WBI, our minority-owned affiliate, is another good example. Corporate buyers can broaden their supplier base and gain new manufacturing processes with WBI.

More Than Five Decades of Excellence
The Bayloff story began in 1948 with a modest goal—to start a business so its founders could be their own bosses. Helmut Bayer and Stanley Loeffler joined forces (and names) to create Bayloff Die & Stamping. Most days they did it all—finding customers, building dies, running the presses, delivering parts, typing invoices, sweeping floors…whatever it took. Now, more than 50 years and 180 employees later, Bayloff is a large, successful company—but with one important holdover from the early days: a work ethic grounded in an entrepreneur’s belief that, in order to succeed, it didn’t matter what a customer asked for, we had to find a solution. But even with Bayer’s engineering prowess, and because we were a small, family-owned business, we accepted every difficult situation not as a problem, but rather a challenge that we had to solve. Back then our livelihood literally depended on it. Today that’s still our guiding principle.

Instinctively our founders focused as much attention on our customers as they did on high-quality tools. Because of this, superior customer service is as much a part of our culture as our engineering expertise. It’s a good thing, too, since customer service is more important than ever. Why? Well it wasn’t too long ago that only the largest corporations were truly multinational. Not any more. Today everyone is looking for new markets and new opportunities around the world. Consequently, capable supplier-partners are indispensable—especially in a global economy where borders are disappearing and the competition is fierce. Bayloff Stamped Products is one of those suppliers.

Today Bayloff has nearly 60 years of experience in the design and manufacture of the highest quality stampings used in NVH components, powertrain components and brake and muffler systems, as well as parts used in a variety of consumer products. Over the years, we have earned the distinction from numerous Tier One manufacturers as being an exceptional member of their supply chains. But, most importantly, our success is based on a relentless drive to improve our engineering and manufacturing processes in order to help our customers lower costs, gain new efficiencies and build better products. It’s a work ethic born of humble beginnings but grand ambitions.
