The product range includes assembled camshafts, cylinder head modules with integrated camshafts and crankshafts (powertrain), rotor shafts, steering and damping systems, and springs and stabilizers, as well as the assembly of axle modules (chassis) and the development and operation of car body plants. The auto industry is undergoing a dramatic transformation. Manufacturers face multiple challenges. Around the world ever more competitors are entering the market. At the same time demand for mobility in urban spaces and developing countries is rising, alongside a growing emphasis on efficiency and sustainability. Ever stricter standards and regulations are also playing a role. So completely new solutions are called for. And that’s where we come in. Numerous innovations are already within reach: Huge advances have been made in e-mobility and connected and autonomous cars. The vehicles of the future will be totally unlike the cars of today. Despite the speed of change, consumers must be able to count on the reliability and safety of the materials and technologies used.
