As your automotive supplier, we are “Driven by Imagination”

Our customers' expectations of us as an automotive supplier are clearly defined: components must become increasingly smaller and lighter, while maintaining the lowest possible tolerances and delivering higher performance. At the same time, the requirements for suppliers regarding sustainable and energy-efficient production based on certifiable processes are rising. Because of all these factors, our customers choose us as their supplier – on the one hand, because we can meet the technical challenges, and on the other, because our financial stability creates long-term trust.

Our Carbon-Based Solutions Are Global Leaders

With several hundred million carbon brushes used annually in electric motors for starters, fans, fuel pumps, window regulators, and seat adjusters, we are the global market leader among automotive suppliers in this segment. Additional carbon-based products developed by us include graphite parts for vacuum pumps, bearings for exhaust systems, injection-molded graphite parts for coolant pumps, and high-strength composite materials (GFRP/CFRP) for reinforcement sleeves.

Expertise in Sintering, Metal Injection Molding, and Thermal Management

Thanks to our extensive experience, we collaborate with you to develop forward-thinking solutions for the automotive industry. Our sintered molded parts and metal injection molding (MIM) products are used throughout the drivetrain – for example, in turbochargers, exhaust systems, valve trains, as well as in camshafts and pumps for numerous applications. We also equip comfort and occupant safety systems with our consistently high-quality components. Inside the vehicle, our components serve as adjusters for steering wheels, seats, and sunroofs; in the body/chassis area, they perform key functions in exterior mirrors, electric parking brakes, and electric tailgates.

New material developments also sustainably optimize the thermal management of components adjacent to combustion engines and power electronics. For this purpose, we develop products made from aluminum graphite or latent heat carbon.

We rise to meet the ever-increasing demands and legal regulations of modern mobility – including those related to sustainability. In nearly every region of the world, our specialists support you with the combined expertise of a global player. We place our production and logistics as close as possible to your location and manufacture using manual, semi-automated, and fully automated systems.
