PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

We produce a wide range of products, many of which are essential to a vehicle’s structural integrity. Our portfolio of products ranges from bodies (Body in White or BIW), chassis, and mechanisms, to presses and dies and other related products and services.

BODY PRODUCTS

Gestamp BIW

Our body products include large component parts and assemblies, such as hoods, roofs, doors, fenders and other high-quality ‘‘Class A’’ surfaces and assemblies that are used to create the visible exterior skin of an automobile; structural and other crash-relevant important products,such as floors, pillars, rails and wheel arches which, together with the exterior skin component parts and assemblies, form the essential upper and under body (platform) structures of an automobile.

CHASSIS

Gestamp 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

Edscha Gestamp

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

Gestamp TTE

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.

MANUFACTURING PROCESSES

  • Since we were founded in 1997, we have had an ongoing commitment to incorporate new technologies into our manufacturing processes and to develop traditional technologies.

We started off as a company based solely on cold stamping small parts and we have become a company based on multiple technologies.
Our manufacturing is done using a large portfolio of technologies and capabilities all along the value chain, including:

  • In-house capabilities for manufacturing presses and dies.
  • A wide range of forming technologies, from the latest technology (hot stamping)
  • to profiling and hydroforming, including a wide range of traditional cold stamping
  • processes for various products using different materials.
  • Advanced assembly technologies such as remote-control laser welding
  • Finishing technologies such as powder coating and cataphoresis.
