FIELDS OF APPLICATION
automotive manufacturing as well as in a lot of further
challenging technical applications.
Deep drawn parts offer perfect solutions wherever high precision,
productivity and efficency are needed.
SLEEVES AND RINGS FOR CLUTCH SYSTEMS
Drive train
We manufacture sleeves and rings for vehicle drive trains which are installed, for example, in the engine valve train, in the clutch release bearing or in the dual-clutch gearbox. In addition to our deep drawing expertise, we offer all the necessary thermal treatment procedures. The manufacture of hardened, thin-walled deep-drawn parts presents a special challenge, which is why we refined this manufacturing technology further and further over the years and brought it to a high level.

WHEEL SPEED SENSOR HOUSINGS | STEERING ANGLE SENSOR SLEEVES
Sensor technology
Housings and protective sleeves for sensors used in various applications are a focus of our product portfolio – for example for wheel revolution and steering angle detection and regulation. With electronic driver assistance systems conquering the automotive market, the demand for state-of-the-art sensor technology is constantly increasing. In line with this trend, we generate a significant share of revenue through high-precision, thin-walled deep-drawn parts.

COLD INFLATOR SLEEVES
Airbag
Our deep-drawn parts are used more and more in cold invlator installed in airbag systems. We consider this to be another important field of application, no matter the drive type. The demand for drawn parts is increasing with the rising number of airbags in vehicles – even in times of general market stagnation. Our expertise in manufacturing ready-finished deep-drawn parts with lateral cutouts and apertures – integrated into the transfer tool – enhances the efficiency of end products at the customer.

HOUSIG AND COVERS FOR E-ENGINES
Electric drives
The number of electric drives, such as actuators in the vehicle interior, has been constantly on the rise in the last few years – and the increasing trend towards electric vehicles and intelligent assistance systems will further accelerate this development. We are a large-scale manufacturer of deep-drawn components for electric engines of various geometries and dimensions. The manufacture of precision sleeves with a small wall thickness is a key business activity. To manufacture thin-walled parts, stricter requirements must be fulfilled with regard to in-house and external parts logistics and packaging. We consult with our customers in order to define high-quality and cost-effective solutions.

SECURING SLEEVES
Fixing technology
We take pride in our ability to provide large quantities of high-stability parts with complex geometries in order to satisfy high demand in the fields of joining and fixing technology. Thanks to cold hardening, reliable precision processes and the efficient manufacturing method applied, our deep-drawn parts are perfectly suitable for the manufacture of components intended for these applications.
Automotive
SEALING RINGS | MOUNTING RINGS
Roller bearing components
Roller bearing sleeves and rings, and especially supporting, retaining and sealing rings with complex geometries, are a traditional segment of our product portfolio. Furthermore, some of these parts run through a subsequent hardening process. The manufacture of heat-treated, thin-walled drawn parts requires special know-how because the thermal distortion must be properly considered when defining the part geometry.
Automotive
SLEEVES AND GUIDE TUBES FOR SOLENOID VALVE
Control technology
Whether in electro-mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic actuators and valve systems: In many cases, deep-drawn parts are a viable alternative to significantly more cost-intensive turned parts. Deep-drawn parts enable solutions which are both technically and economically attractive, especially when it comes to large-scale production. In close cooperation with the customer and in line with the value analysis principle, we have often successfully substituted cost-intensive components requiring metal-cutting machining by efficient deep-drawn parts.
Automotive
SLEEVE FOR ELECTRONIC LOCKING SYSTEMS
Locking systems
We deliver deep-drawn caps and assembled components in large numbers for a global market leader in the field of security and locking systems. In addition to functionality, aesthetic design is playing a major role in this area. We provide our customer with ready-mounted products in a sophisticated surface design, including a laser-printed logo.
The components are deployed in electronic locking systems for medium- to large-sized real estate objects. The leveraging of this technology for use in private homes will significantly increase demand.

REFLECTORS AND SLEEVES FOR LIGHTING PRODUCTS
Lighting technology
With LED technology making its way into the markets, the lighting industry underwent drastic change in the last few years. Some traditional products have disappeared and are being replaced more and more by innovative components. Due to the rapid development of LED technology and the increasing demand for economically attractive solutions, cost-effective deep-drawn parts are playing an increasing role in today’s lighting industry.

MATERIALS
We process all deep drawing materials such as steel, stainless steel and aluminium and copper alloys.
Even “exotic” materials, such as titanium or high-alloy nickel steel qualities,
can be formed by deep drawing. Coated metal strips are also part of our range of raw materials.
40% stainless steel
5% copper alloys
15% aluminum alloys
