Innovation

Digital twins, end-to-end simulations and virtual process chains enable us to implement new forming solutions faster, more reliably and more economically. We simulate feasibility, material behavior and process stability as early as the concept phase. This allows us to shorten development times, minimize risks and ensure quality from the very first component.

During body part production, we use product twins - digital images of each body part. This allows us to optimize processes, ensure the highest quality and create full transparency. Every step is traceable - for maximum efficiency and traceability.

Our forming processes are intelligent - thanks to sensor technology, data analysis and adaptive tool systems. Real-time data from production flows directly into the process control, which means that quality and output are continuously optimized.

Our team is also researching innovations in the traditional field of toolmaking and has developed a patented composite tool that enables parts to be produced with just one press stroke instead of the previous five.

We manufacture components from high-strength steels, aluminum or mixed construction concepts that optimally combine lightweight construction and crash safety. Intelligent material combinations result in solutions with high functionality and reduced mass - crucial for range and energy efficiency, especially in electromobility and future vehicle concepts.

Electromobility places new demands on components, materials and safety. We are on the ball here and produce specific components such as battery housings that are optimally designed for thermal, structural and packaging-related requirements. We provide the specific finishes required to guarantee special requirements, such as special corrosion resistance, etc.

For us, technological progress also means responsibility: with CO₂-optimized processes, energy-efficient production and recyclable materials, we improve the environmental footprint of our products and locations. We continuously increase our own efficiency through holistic process optimization - from tools to logistics.

A key success factor in this is our employees. They know their work processes inside out - and are often the first to recognize where energy can be saved or resources used more efficiently. As part of our company-wide energy challenge, for example, we have already come up with numerous ideas that have a big impact with little effort.
