Vehicle construction

It is undeniable that decorated aluminum in a car interior exudes a special charisma. The people at Alutrim Europe GmbH have taken this up as a profession, as they transfer inspirations found in nature and industry into decorative surfaces from genuine metal. A major project for Audi necessitated a considerable expansion in milling capacities in 2017.

The major clients of Stengele Holz- und Kunststofftechnik GmbH, such as Hymer, Carthago, Dethleffs, Fendt and others, install its components in all vehicles. Their production sector uses most advanced technologies, such as the 5-axes CNC-machining centres from Reichenbacher, to ensure continuous top machining quality.

At first, “a deliberate investment in future capacities” sounds daring, above all when it refers to a big CNC-milling unit including robot systems. For MN Coil, an important supplier of the automotive and aircraft industry, however, it constitutes a well-considered step to reach a position where they can react to changes in the market at any given time and ensure economic stability.

And when, as is the case here, a premium manufacturer from the German automotive sector prefers his components to be machined in a particular way, Faurecia will make an investment in a special-purpose machine to ensure the manufacture of superb interior parts. The Reichenbacher line at Faurecia has been in operation since the end of 2017 and has exclusively been producing high-gloss decorative parts for the dashboards at the driver and passenger side, as well as for the centre console, of the Audi Q8.

Our business philosophy consists in developing lines that appeal to our target groups. Normally, to achieve this goal we base the concept for each line on our modular system. For the first time our approach has been different in the case of the TUBE. The automotive industry has several peculiarities which we want to accommodate.
