ThyssenKrupp Drauz Nothelfer:
A strong partner to the automotive industry
The merger of the two body specialists ThyssenKrupp Drauz and Nothelfer in May 2005 created one of the world’s largest service-providers and equipment suppliers covering every aspect of the vehicle body. ThyssenKrupp Drauz Nothelfer forms part of the Technologies segment within the ThyssenKrupp group. ThyssenKrupp Drauz Nothelfer currently employs a workforce of 2.000 worldwide, and operates 17 locations in the USA, China, Brazil, Great Britain, France, Spain and Germany. The company has long-standing customer relationships with numerous global automotive manufacturers.
Unique – The closed Body Engineering Loop
The comprehensive range of products and services extends from vehicle development to prototype construction, forming technology, system construction and on to the manufacture of complete bodies. The service rounds off the product portfolio. This enables ThyssenKrupp Drauz Nothelfer to assume the overall responsibility for complete vehicles from concept right through to production.
Bundling of know-how
ThyssenKrupp Drauz Nothelfer can now look back on over 100 years of experience and tradition in body construction. Since both companies previously focussed on different areas as their core business, they now complement each other ideally in their skills and technological know-how.
Innovations create prospects
ThyssenKrupp Drauz Nothelfer attaches great importance to the area of Research & Development. This is confirmed by numerous innovative products and manufacturing processes, such as modern door concepts, applications for door sealing systems, folding systems, body-framing, laser welding systems, impulse stamp riveting processes, component transfer systems and hydro-forming of conical steel profiles, all of which have proven themselves in practical use. The assembled experience in the equipment business and body manufacture made possible by the merger into ThyssenKrupp Drauz Nothelfer form the ideal basis for even more effective work in the field of R & D.
Worldwide representation
With its large number of production locations and sales offices, ThyssenKrupp Drauz Nothelfer enjoys the benefits of a worldwide network. This guarantees the company closeness to its customers, flexibility in order processing and high reaction speed.
Management skills that complement each other
The company management consists of Bernd Becker, Josef Görgen and Claus Hensel. The chairmanship of the management board has been taken over since 01.11.2006 by Bernd Becker.
