The trend towards reducing the number of individual components in modern car bodies has led to the production of larger and more complex components. Manufacturers are continuously developing existing technologies and introducing new ones, often accompanied using new alloys and materials for car body design.

The production of automotive structural components has seen the establishment of temperature-supported forming technologies for sheet metals, in addition to casting technologies for large structural components and the classic cold forming of car body parts. Tailor Welded (TWB) and Tailor Rolled Blanks (TRB) are widely used, and graded properties within a component are increasingly created using patches and locally adapted heat treatment.

At the 3 days “4th Executive Summit – Efficient car body parts production from high-performance materials” on October 2^nd – 4^th, 2024, we will be discussing the new trends with speakers and participants from all over the spectrum. Our speakers range from raw materials suppliers to the OEM’s and any link of the supply chain. As automotive world and supply chain is changing at a very high pace, it is essential to keep up with both the technological and business aspects.

We invite you to network, socialize, and explore the latest studies. On the first and second day of the event, you will learn from very exclusive presenters, expand knowledge, and find solutions to problems in your daily business. Meet specialist within their focus, learn beyond own field or interest and engage in high-level debates during the Q&A time. On the third day, at the Fronius Company visit, you can join us to gain valuable inputs in the Joining Technology.
