Precision joining technology for the automotive industry's most demanding requirements
Automotive Industry
In the automotive industry, stable, durable, and precise connections are crucial for safety, functionality, and efficiency. Our technologies enable reliable connections in a wide variety of applications—from moving parts to safety-critical components.

Front cover and door hinges
Flexible connections with high load-bearing capacity


Movable connections, such as front cover (hood) or door hinges, require the highest precision and durability. The use of plain bearing bushings and stepped rivets creates connections that are both robust and flexible.
These joining techniques ensure:
- Low-friction motion
- High wear resistance
- Long-term operational reliability
Ideal for applications that require a combination of mechanical load and mobility.

Seat Frames
Maximum stability thanks to innovative joining technology


Seat frames must withstand high loads while also being lightweight and efficiently designed. The combination of side panels with large-diameter tubes and the use of GBA technology results in exceptionally stable structures.
Advantages:
- High structural stability
- Secure force transmission
- Reliable connections even under dynamic loads

Door Locks
Critical Components Securely Connected


Door locks are among the safety-critical components in a vehicle. Absolutely reliable joints are essential here. FMW Friedrich CNC riveting machines join these components efficiently, precisely, and durably.
The result:
- Maximum safety
- Consistent quality
- Durable joints that withstand heavy loads

Seatbelt pretensioner
Precision for the Highest Safety Standards


Seatbelt pretensioner systems play a central role in the safety of vehicle occupants. The fastening technology used here must meet the highest standards.
Precisely manufactured connections and robust designs ensure that:
- Safety-critical functions are reliably activated
- Components remain stable even under extreme conditions
- The highest quality standards are met
