Engineering and production services

We also offer our customers engineering and production services beyond crash management products in the area of crash management, such as total solutions from drawings to calculations, prototypes and tests to series production. We develop and produce crash management systems made of aluminum and steel for the premium automotive segment and are open to inquiries and developments where we can also support you outside of the automotive sector.

The TS 16949 certification proves our quality.
