Sweden-based AP&T supplies production solutions to manufacturers worldwide, including automation, presses, furnace systems, and tooling, for the manufacturing of press-hardened vehicle parts for the automotive industry.
Car manufacturers are using lighter sheet materials, such as aluminium and thinner steel, to form robust parts for car body frames. When pressed, these lighter materials still produce a strong body frame meeting required safety standards without adding unnecessary weight to a car’s build which can drain both fuel and battery life.
