Today, Tailored Products are primarily used in the automotive industry and are used in millions of cars around the world. Parts such as door inner panels, B-pillars and side panels combine the highest safety requirements with economical lightweight construction.
They meet different requirements: Tailored Products lower material usage, reducing the overall weight of the car and significantly reducing the cost, because high-quality and expensive materials are only used where absolutely necessary. In addition, Tailored Products reduce the number of additional reinforcements and overlapping joints on the car body. In this way, Tailored Products meet the needs of our customers by making car body assembly so much easier.
