    Struts are structural parts of the car suspension system. These have traditionally consisted of multiple parts assembled and mounted to the chassis of the vehicle.

    We have gone one step further, using end-forming technology to develop an innovative one-piece solution with increased performance.

    Coil in-line processing

    Our high-speed coil in-line processing provides efficiency and flexibility to your process, with limited tooling costs.

    End-forming concept

    The struts are axial-compressed, expanded and folded. This guarantees weight savings and high performance.

    Tailored extruded blanks technology

    Through tailored shaping, the metal is located where needed, minimizing inefficient weight and providing a high weight-to-stiffness ratio.
