Automotive
From design to the finished vehicle body.
Steel and aluminium bodies for commercial vehicles.
Step one: technical design
Your project starts in our technical office.
We design your vehicle body in a simple way.
Starting from the chassis, our technical office develops the project in 3D, defines materials, dimensions and surface treatments, and shares it with you before production begins.
Step two: laser cutting and press braking
12,000 W fibre laser cutting
220-ton press brakes.
Iron and aluminium sheets are cut and bent in-house on state-of-the-art machinery: every component comes out precise and ready for assembly.
Step two: laser cutting and bending
Tack welding: a delicate job that makes it possible to robotise the welding process.
Before welding, the components are positioned and fixed by hand with tack welds. This step takes experience: the precision of the geometry and the quality of the work depend on it.
Step three: robotic welding
Top quality
Standardised process. Endless innovation.
Robotic welding delivers uniform, strong seams, reliable lead times and the same quality on every part, from one-off orders to series production.
Step four: assembly
Body finishing, side panel assembly, cab guard fitting…
In the workshop the body takes shape: we fit side panels, cab guard and accessories, take care of the finishes and check every detail before the vehicle is delivered.
A complete process
The quality of a craftsman, the production capacity of an industry.
