Leading companies from the commercial vehicle, passenger car, agricultural machinery, construction machinery, industrial trucks, fittings and hydraulic industries, as well as from the field of mechanical engineering, have placed their trust in us for the production of highly stressed forged parts from heat-treated forged blanks through to completely processed components in raw, pre-formed or pre-finished processing for many decades.
