KIRCHHOFF Automotive is a partner of the automotive industry in the development of complex metallic and hybrid structures for bodies and chassis.
We are present all over the world as a supplier of complex and hybrid metal structures for bodywork, crash management system, chassis structures and instrument panel support (CCB).
The family business, founded in 1785, is part of the current KIRCHHOFF group, composed of the KIRCHHOFF Ecotec, KIRCHHOFF Mobility and WITTE Tools business areas.
With 9 employees and around 000 factories in 30 countries, KIRCHHOFF Automotive represents the main business area of the KIRCHHOFF group.
As a global company, we offer noscustomers in Europe, Asia and North America complex bodywork components via a cost-optimised supply chain.
A noss global manufacturing network with key molding, bonding, lightweight construction and coating technologies ensures uniform manufacturing and production standards around the world.
We operate as an optimized logistics chain; products such as: crash management systems, front panels and cross members are assembled and transformed into complete components in JIT (just in time) factories very close to the customer.
Right at the stage of developing new vehicle models, we sought close collaboration with car manufacturers.
Os nosYour customers thus benefit from nosso know-how in lightweight automobile construction.
We develop, for example, structural elements of the body using hybrid construction processes. In these processes, we apply combinations of steel and aluminum or metal and plastic.
Thanks to the newly developed partial press-hardening technology, we are able to produce steel elements with different strength zones and therefore body components optimized in terms of weight and behavior in the event of a collision.
We do not concentrate noss attention only nos processes and machines, but also, in a very special way, nos nosyou are collaborators.
Only with high levels of motivation will we be able, together with the nosour customers, achieve the goals set and be successful in the long term.
