Exterior

We pay attention to external factors

Perfection for the highest standards of design, function and efficiency

The exterior of a vehicle is more than just an attractive appearance - it combines design, function and aerodynamic efficiency
Our Exterior division helps our automotive customers to make the difference. As an experienced development service provider, we offer holistic exterior design solutions that meet the highest standards of quality and efficiency.

From the initial concept phase to mass production, we bring all our expertise to bear. We guide our customers through the entire product development process
We ensure that deadlines, costs and quality are always in harmony through precise requirements management, well thought-out design model validation and structured project management. Our services cover the entire development process - from concept and material selection to implementation using state-of-the-art production technologies to ensure an optimum balance between aesthetics, functionality and performance.

Team Leader Exterior

Our exterior engineering services cover a wide range of components. For example, we develop bumper systems and radiator grilles that combine protection and function in a dynamic design. Aerodynamic components and lightweight design concepts are also part of our portfolio, enabling efficient and sustainable solutions through optimized shapes and innovative materials. The integration of advanced sensor and lighting systems blends seamlessly into the exterior, adding functionality and safety. In addition, kinematics and NVH components ensure optimum motion sequences and noise insulation for maximum comfort.

Together with our simulation department, we develop Crash Management Systems (CMS) with a special focus on safety and integration into the overall structure. 
Our portfolio also includes black parts such as underbody and wheel arch linings or grey zone components. This is complemented by the development of front and rear doors, fuel filler flaps and tailgates, as well as other add-on parts such as trim parts, rocker panels, spoilers and mirror housings. With these solutions, we provide the body with a harmonious transition between functionality, aesthetics and state-of-the-art technology.
By developing front modules and glazing, including wiper/washer systems, we complete the exterior and create a distinctive look that enhances the vehicle's appearance while improving safety.

In addition to technical development, we place great emphasis on sustainability. By using sustainable materials and optimizing our processes, we actively contribute to reducing our customers' environmental footprint. We also create exclusive solutions for small and large series projects and motorsport that meet all requirements in terms of design, function and manufacturability.
