The SHW Group has been manufacturing brake discs since 1954 and says it supplies luxury car manufacturers with around four million brake discs a year. The supplier is "constantly looking for manufacturing options that deliver the type of manufacturing flexibility essential for servicing such a dynamic marketplace." The reason for this, he says, is the electrification of many customers.
The mould casting cell from casting machine manufacturer ItalPresseGauss meets the requirements that automotive suppliers have for flexibility, productivity and quality continuity, he said. "(...) For us, boosting production capacity and achieving efficiency gains cannot come at the expense of these high standards. (...)", says Matthias Aust, Plant Manager from SHW Group.
