Trusted by Volvo Group for Production-Line Corrosion Protection
When Volvo Group — the Swedish multinational behind Volvo Trucks, Volvo Buses, Volvo Penta, and Volvo Construction Equipment — needs VCI corrosion protection films for their Indian manufacturing operations, they turn to BENZ Packaging.
This isn’t a sample order or a pilot project. BENZ VCI films are production-deployed across multiple Volvo facilities in India, protecting metal components during in-plant storage, inter-plant transit, and final shipment to assembly lines worldwide.
Why Does Volvo Use VCI Films?
Volvo manufactures some of the most critical heavy machinery in the world — trucks that haul cargo across continents, buses that carry passengers daily, and construction equipment that operates in the harshest environments. The metal components in these machines (engine blocks, hydraulic cylinders, transmission gears, axle housings) must arrive at assembly with zero corrosion.
Traditional oil-based rust preventives create problems Par: parts must be cleaned before assembly, adding time and cost; oil residues can contaminate paint lines and adhesive bonding surfaces; disposal of oil-contaminated packaging creates environmental compliance issues.
BENZ VCI films eliminate all three problems. Volvo components are simply wrapped or bagged in VCI film, which releases invisible corrosion-inhibiting molecules that form a protective layer on all exposed metal surfaces. When the parts are unwrapped, they’re clean, dry, and ready to assemble.
What “Production Deployed” Really Means
There’s a significant difference between getting a test certificate and being used in actual production. Many VCI suppliers can show lab test results. But production deployment at Volvo means:
- Consistent supply — BENZ delivers VCI films to Volvo on a regular production schedule
- Quality verification — every batch must meet Volvo’s incoming quality standards
- Custom specifications — film sizes, thicknesses, and formats tailored to Volvo’s component requirements
- Real-world validation — the corrosion protection has been verified across actual shipping and storage conditions
Six OEMs Trust BENZ. Volvo is One of Them.
Alongside BMW, Volkswagen, Daimler/Mercedes-Benz, General Motors, and Renault-Nissan, Volvo Group completes the portfolio of six global automotive OEMs that rely on BENZ VCI films. For any manufacturer in India that supplies components to European or global OEMs, this track record is the strongest possible validation.
