We mainly produce axle-supporting chassis parts with differing degrees of complexity that we deliver directly – in welded assembly and welded component form – to the assembly line. All established robot and manual welding methods (MIG, MAG, TIG) are used and adapted to the material to be welded and customer requirements. Our state-of-the-art facilities guarantee that the customer is provided in each case with the optimal method for a high throughput rate with maximum quality and the lowest possible production costs.

 
Our range of services covers the following:

• Production of components and replacement parts in low-volume production 
• Use of all established robot and manual welding methods (MIG, MAG or TIG)
• Assembly
• Machining 
• Just-in-time or just-in-sequence delivery
• Weld-seam test
• Traceability
• Anti-corrosion coating in accordance with customer specification (e.g. cathodic dip painting)

We design products for very special requirements to suit the needs of our customers, who primarily come from agricultural and construction machinery technology. In the case of low to average unit figures, low tooling and process costs play an important role: Our employees have the required expertise to solve the conflict between tool and part prices so that the best possible result is achieved for our customers. Besides the usual bare or galvanised deep drawing steels, we are also experts when it comes to stainless steels, copper and aluminium. Sheet thicknesses of between 0.5 mm and 3 mm are formed as what are known as fine sheets. The wings for tractors and side trim parts for harvesting machines and tractors are given here as examples. However, we can also form thick plates of up to max. 8 mm, such as pedal levers, feed hoppers for harvesting machines and shields for exhaust systems. Presses with a pressing force of up to 16,000 kN are available for these tasks.

 
Our range of services covers the following:

• Development and planning
• Prototyping
• Pressing and forming of deep drawing steel, stainless steel, copper and aluminium
• Fine sheet: Sheet thicknesses of 0.5-3 mm
• Thick plate: Sheet thicknesses of max. 8 mm
• Pressing with a pressing force of up to 16,000 kN

We have decades of production expertise in the manufacturing of ready-to-install pipe systems for the transport of fuels and refrigerants in buses and passenger cars. In the meantime, we have delivered tens of thousands of complete pipe systems to OEMs. Depending on customer requirements, we form pipes made from steel, stainless steel, copper, brass or aluminium on state-of-the-art CNC bending machines and provide the pipe ends with suitable and stable connections. Besides refrigerant and fuel lines, we can in this way also produce various other line types – for example, hydraulic lines, oil lines or coolant lines. With individually agreed logistics concepts, we contribute to a smooth production process at the customer.

 
Our range of services covers the following:

• Pipe bending with diameters of between 2 mm and 70 mm to suit the specified bending radius
• Bending of steel, stainless steel, copper, brass and aluminium pipes
• Attachment of connections by means of induction soldering and brazing
• Pipe end processing in accordance with the customer drawing
• Initial sampling of new lines 
• Vehicle-related delivery (one-set flow), just-in-time or just-in-sequence

We have decades of experience in the production of fuel and hydraulic tanks. In this connection, the customer specifies, for example, the connection points and we engineer the tank to suit the available installation space, then we produce prototypes that we subsequently bring to series production maturity in coordination with the customer – taking into account technical simplification with the objective of cost optimisation. We make the tanks from steel, stainless steel and – something that is becoming increasingly important nowadays – aluminium. The capacity of our tanks ranges from 0.25 l to 2,200 l. Our logistics concepts, which we individually coordinate with the customer, play a key role in a smooth process along the entire value-added chain.

 
Our range of services covers the following:

• Programming and blanking
• Forming (edging, pressing, rounding)
• Longitudinal seam, robot and manual welding (MIG, MAG, TIG)
• Cleaning and leak tests
• Powder coating and final assembly
• Quality control and proper packaging

We are specialised in the production and ready-to-install assembly of interior equipment systems for commercial vehicles, in particular of ceiling systems. The ceiling systems in city buses and coaches are nowadays much more than decorative panels. These now conceal a complex structure of subsystems in a confined installation space that ensure greater safety and comfort for passengers: Functions such as cooling/air conditioning, audio and lighting must be optimally integrated in the confined installation space available. The objective here is functional reliability as well as weight reduction and ease of maintenance. We offer a comprehensive range of services for roof internal systems to suit customer requests. From the design to the development of prototypes to engineering, series production and delivery.

 
Our range of services covers the following:

• Engineering and series production from a single source
• Just-in-sequence delivery
• Supplier selection with regard to expertise, delivery reliability and quality

We offer our customers the following for the “chassis” area:

• Vehicle chassis parts (e.g. longitudinal frame members), also as complete, ready-to-install units with a sheet thickness of up to 12 mm 
• Detachable body components and chassis parts such as crossmembers, gusset plates, reinforcements with a sheet thickness of up to 12 mm 
• Surface technologies such as zinc-phosphate coating, cathodic dip painting (CDP) and topcoat systems 
• Planning, design and manufacturing of production-specific cutting, bending and drawing tools 
• Frame pre-assembly, just-in-sequence and module deliveries

Into quality in a big way 

We produce all kinds of detachable body components and chassis parts made from sheets up to 12 mm thick and in material grades up to QStE 700 TM. The range of parts encompasses crossmembers, detachable parts, gusset plates, reinforcements and welded body components for truck frames. We have particular expertise in the joining of pressed parts to form components. In addition to CDP priming, the option exists to use an additional topcoat.

Product group: Longitudinal frame members

For light-, medium- and heavy-duty truck model series, we produce longitudinal frame members made from high-strength materials up to QStE 500 TM and in material thicknesses of up to 10 mm. Longitudinal frame members are available in straight and bent designs and with individual hole patterns. Two large presses with a pressing force of up to 50,000 kN as well as a roll-forming system for rolling the longitudinal members are available for production. The state-of the-art cathodic dip painting system is designed for maximum corrosion protection with zinc-phosphate coating via spraying and cathodic dip painting. 

Product group: Detachable frame components

For light-, medium- and heavy-duty truck model series, we produce detachable frame components made from high-strength materials up to QStE 700 TM and in material thicknesses of up to 12 mm. Four press lines, production cells for assemblies and a cathodic dip painting system with pretreatment and cataphoretic immersion priming are available at two locations for production.

In addition to tanks, the production of luggage compartment and fuel filler flaps as well as panels made from aluminium for buses and commercial vehicles is another of our core competencies. For example, all Setra coaches delivered in the last 20 years are equipped with our flaps and today we look after the replacement parts business for these. We deliver ready-to-install flap systems made from aluminium in accordance with customer requirements. It goes without saying that we develop flap concepts together with our customers taking into the account the functionality and weight optimisation.
