DOORS

In recent years, the door function has been the main protagonist of our company’s expansion, currently representing 32% of total sales. Multitechnology, maximum integration, global implementation and flexibility for handling a wide range of versions positions us as leaders regarding this function.

The door is an essential design component in which multiple features converge. It has transformed into a carrier of diverse components: electric and electronic devices, lighting, padding, and acoustic features which provide safety and comfort.

We are experts on trims for doors and mechanisms, a technological synergy that allows us to offer a broad scope of modular solutions. We develop, manufacture and sequence door panels that integrate innovative product-process technologies and materials seeking to reduce weight.

As regards mechanisms, our extensive range covers from simple power windows through to complex modules and intelligent systems. Manufacturing power windows of materials like magnesium and plastic reduces the amount of required components, resulting in decreased weight and improved properties.

Due to the product’s peculiarities, the traditional assembly chain for doors is enormously complex. Our solution is the module: it makes compatible technical and functional features with design, safety and perceived quality, while simplifying the assembly chain. Furthermore, our door modules are lighter, thanks to technological applications for lowering weight and optimizing materials.

Modules are supplied by sequencing plants, simplifying the assembly process and the management of diversity and quality, undeniably impacting global efficiency in economic terms. These solutions allow us to offer our clients an extensive technology offer, perfectly adapted to their requirements.
