Structures for worldwide success

The continuously increasing demands for active and passive vehicle safety have resulted in the production of a multiplicity of electronic components as well as considerable modifications in safety design. Benteler-developed structural parts take over supporting functions and improve crashworthiness with the added benefit of simultaneous weight reduction. Benteler Automotive´s Structures Product Group has fulfilled these needs from the beginning, and has authoritatively shaped the field with their ides. An example of this market leadership is the development and manufacture of bumper systems utilizing particularly light, ultra-strength components.

Material and technology

We offer our customers an extensive choice and combination of technical processes and materials. Our unique capability with proprietary steel products, hot stamping and selective heat treatment of structural parts provides the best potential for applications combining narrow tolerance and extremely high strength. With the early integration of Benteler Automotive right from the concept phase, efficient cost and performance solutions can be worked together.

Safety systems instead of components

Benteler´s customers increasingly profit from the advantages of higher integration in weight and cash-optimized structural components. We have supported them with the development of complete safety concepts in the front-end and for side structures. We are also working in partnerships on complete front-end structures which contain active elements for pedestrian safety.
