All of my experience with Laso products should cause me to state clearly that Laso is an OE supplier to the European Automotive industry. The look like OEM parts, they feel like OEM parts and they act like OEM parts. I do not, however, have any real evidence to the affirmative or the negative.
Put another way, the only water pump that I know is as good as a Laso water pump is the factory water pump. I know I may be pushing the over-kill button a little hard, but I am very passionate about Laso products because they are just that good.
I would stack any Laso part against the OEM part in a second. Regardless if it is a water pump, oil pump, ignition steering lock assembly, belt tensioner, pre-chamber, or any other Laso product, it will match the OEM part in quality, fit and service life. It may be a less expensive part, but never an inferior one.
Company:
LASO has been producing spare parts for cars, buses and trucks in Olpe, Germany for over 40 years. Craftsmanship and modern production lines are the key to their highest quality and precision. As a niche player, LASO focuses on sophisticated engine components such as oil and water pumps. They produce primarily for European trucks and cars. Their philosophy is to produce a range of products for a broad selection of makes – in a quality which is just as good as the original, from “A” for Audi to “V” for Volvo.
Computer aided systems of the latest generation ensure that their products always meet the highest standards. LASO is not only oriented to the renowned manufacturers in terms of product quality, they also analize how the OEMs achieve their high quality standards. The quality of the original equipment manufacturers is their only benchmark. Their quality management therefore always uses up-to-date technology. With their Computer Aided Quality Assurance (CAQ) they permanently check the contouring accuracy, material quality and surface finishes. For LASO, permanent quality checks mean that the production will only proceed if every single step has successfully passed the controls in place.
