Seat Parts Group - the specialist for forming technology

The Seat Parts Group manufactures seat parts, body & chassis components and assemblies for the automotive industry using pressing technology.

The Group's experts work in close cooperation with customers to develop numerous prototypes for various product innovations. The experience gained is transferred straight to series production. The use of high-tensile steels permits the use of thinner gauges and reduces the weight of the components made in the process - while offering maximum stability. In this way, the components help reduce the overall weight and fuel consumption of the vehicles in which they are installed. 

 Seat Parts Group offers its customers solutions through extensive expertise - from engineering services, research and development, tool design and construction of special machines to serial production.
