Aluminum Excellence

Cold forming of aluminum is one of our key technologies and a major differentiating factor in the market.

Originating in automotive lightweight engineering, this competence is now broadly applicable — from passenger cars and commercial vehicles to selected high-performance applications beyond the automotive sector. Our cold forming technology enables robust, high-precision aluminum components wherever lightweight design, durability and reliable performance under demanding conditions are essential.

Technology expertise. 

Industrialized at scale

At our Raufoss site in Norway, we combine deep aluminum cold forming expertise with industrial series production. This enables customer-specific lightweight components with highly complex geometries, tight tolerances and reliable repeatability.

Lightweight performance.
CO₂-efficient production

By forming aluminum without energy-intensive heating and leveraging efficient production structures, we deliver lightweight components that combine technical performance, material efficiency and a reduced environmental footprint.

Precision

Precision formed.
Performance built in.

Particularly in the defense sector, the technology enables the production of high-precision, highly durable aluminum components, for example for the steering systems of military vehicles or components such as missile casings.
