BODY PRODUCTS
CHASSIS
The chassis comprises the under body of the vehicle and includes systems, frames and related parts, such as front and rear axles and couplings, control arms and integrated couplings that connect the body and the powertrain of an automobile and carry the load of the vehicle. These structures are essential for the vehicle’s dynamics, performance and safety and have a particular influence on noise, vibrations, driving and in the event of impact.
MECHANISMS
These are mechanical components such as hinges for doors, hoods, and hatchback doors, door checks and door hinges that enable the user to open and close the automobile’s hood, side and rear doors and hatchbacks, as well as pedal systems and hand brakes. Mechanisms also include powered systems that allow automobile doors to open and close electrically and by remote activation.
DIES, PRESSES AND OTHER PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
We have extensive in-house capabilities for designing, engineering, manufacturing and maintaining dies to provide to our clients. We also have our own press construction services and offer engineering technical services that are independent from the specific manufacturing programs. In addition, Gestamp sells the steel that is generated by the manufacturing processes to secondary markets.
