URW Europa B.V. is a major player in the European automotive aftermarket, specializing in steering and drive components. The company was founded in 2000 as a subsidiary of the Japanese Matsui Universal Joint Corp., which has been involved in the production and distribution of remanufactured drive shafts and steering components since the 1980s. From the Netherlands, URW Europa serves the European market with a wide range of remanufactured and new parts, manufactured and inspected at the factory in Nieuwegein using modern testing technologies.
Quality and sustainability are top priorities at URW.
All products are manufactured according to strict ISO standards (9001/14001) and undergo various testing procedures, such as wear and torsion tests, to ensure long service life and optimal performance. An important manufacturing process is carbonitriding, which hardens the surface layer to reduce wear.
URW continuously evolves through innovation and product range expansion.
Recent product additions include hydraulic power steering pumps and manual steering gears—responses to the changing demands of the automotive industry. Through these product developments and close collaboration with distribution partners, URW strengthens its position as a reliable supplier in the market.
