Technologies
Vertically integrated capabilities from raw material to finished, validated structural assembly.
The Structures Group is defined by vertical integration. We combine expertise in light metal casting, forging, precision machining, metal forming, tooling, automation and automated assembly to provide truly end-to-end production solutions to global OEMs.
Vertical integration matters for structural products for three reasons: it collapses cycle time between design iterations, it de-risks program launches by keeping tooling and metrology under one roof, and it lets us re-optimize the process/product together when a program is under cost or weight pressure.
The pages under this menu walk through each capability in more depth — from high-pressure die casting and mega-casting, through forging and metal forming, into machining, assembly, tooling, automation and connected-factory data systems.
For OEMs, the practical benefit is one accountable partner from CAD through PPAP — with the ability to trade off casting vs. forming vs. joining decisions early in the program, when the cost and mass leverage is highest.
