We have decades of production expertise in the manufacturing of ready-to-install pipe systems for the transport of fuels and refrigerants in buses and passenger cars. In the meantime, we have delivered tens of thousands of complete pipe systems to OEMs. Depending on customer requirements, we form pipes made from steel, stainless steel, copper, brass or aluminium on state-of-the-art CNC bending machines and provide the pipe ends with suitable and stable connections. Besides refrigerant and fuel lines, we can in this way also produce various other line types – for example, hydraulic lines, oil lines or coolant lines. With individually agreed logistics concepts, we contribute to a smooth production process at the customer.

 
Our range of services covers the following:

• Pipe bending with diameters of between 2 mm and 70 mm to suit the specified bending radius
• Bending of steel, stainless steel, copper, brass and aluminium pipes
• Attachment of connections by means of induction soldering and brazing
• Pipe end processing in accordance with the customer drawing
• Initial sampling of new lines 
• Vehicle-related delivery (one-set flow), just-in-time or just-in-sequence

We have decades of experience in the production of fuel and hydraulic tanks. In this connection, the customer specifies, for example, the connection points and we engineer the tank to suit the available installation space, then we produce prototypes that we subsequently bring to series production maturity in coordination with the customer – taking into account technical simplification with the objective of cost optimisation. We make the tanks from steel, stainless steel and – something that is becoming increasingly important nowadays – aluminium. The capacity of our tanks ranges from 0.25 l to 2,200 l. Our logistics concepts, which we individually coordinate with the customer, play a key role in a smooth process along the entire value-added chain.

 
Our range of services covers the following:

• Programming and blanking
• Forming (edging, pressing, rounding)
• Longitudinal seam, robot and manual welding (MIG, MAG, TIG)
• Cleaning and leak tests
• Powder coating and final assembly
• Quality control and proper packaging

We are specialised in the production and ready-to-install assembly of interior equipment systems for commercial vehicles, in particular of ceiling systems. The ceiling systems in city buses and coaches are nowadays much more than decorative panels. These now conceal a complex structure of subsystems in a confined installation space that ensure greater safety and comfort for passengers: Functions such as cooling/air conditioning, audio and lighting must be optimally integrated in the confined installation space available. The objective here is functional reliability as well as weight reduction and ease of maintenance. We offer a comprehensive range of services for roof internal systems to suit customer requests. From the design to the development of prototypes to engineering, series production and delivery.

 
Our range of services covers the following:

• Engineering and series production from a single source
• Just-in-sequence delivery
• Supplier selection with regard to expertise, delivery reliability and quality

We offer our customers the following for the “chassis” area:

• Vehicle chassis parts (e.g. longitudinal frame members), also as complete, ready-to-install units with a sheet thickness of up to 12 mm 
• Detachable body components and chassis parts such as crossmembers, gusset plates, reinforcements with a sheet thickness of up to 12 mm 
• Surface technologies such as zinc-phosphate coating, cathodic dip painting (CDP) and topcoat systems 
• Planning, design and manufacturing of production-specific cutting, bending and drawing tools 
• Frame pre-assembly, just-in-sequence and module deliveries

Into quality in a big way 

We produce all kinds of detachable body components and chassis parts made from sheets up to 12 mm thick and in material grades up to QStE 700 TM. The range of parts encompasses crossmembers, detachable parts, gusset plates, reinforcements and welded body components for truck frames. We have particular expertise in the joining of pressed parts to form components. In addition to CDP priming, the option exists to use an additional topcoat.

Product group: Longitudinal frame members

For light-, medium- and heavy-duty truck model series, we produce longitudinal frame members made from high-strength materials up to QStE 500 TM and in material thicknesses of up to 10 mm. Longitudinal frame members are available in straight and bent designs and with individual hole patterns. Two large presses with a pressing force of up to 50,000 kN as well as a roll-forming system for rolling the longitudinal members are available for production. The state-of the-art cathodic dip painting system is designed for maximum corrosion protection with zinc-phosphate coating via spraying and cathodic dip painting. 

Product group: Detachable frame components

For light-, medium- and heavy-duty truck model series, we produce detachable frame components made from high-strength materials up to QStE 700 TM and in material thicknesses of up to 12 mm. Four press lines, production cells for assemblies and a cathodic dip painting system with pretreatment and cataphoretic immersion priming are available at two locations for production.

In addition to tanks, the production of luggage compartment and fuel filler flaps as well as panels made from aluminium for buses and commercial vehicles is another of our core competencies. For example, all Setra coaches delivered in the last 20 years are equipped with our flaps and today we look after the replacement parts business for these. We deliver ready-to-install flap systems made from aluminium in accordance with customer requirements. It goes without saying that we develop flap concepts together with our customers taking into the account the functionality and weight optimisation.

Our range of services covers the following:

• Programming and blanking
• Milling and forming (rounding, edging, rolling in)
• Alignment and grinding
• Pretreatment and powder coating
• Adhesive bonding, sealing and assembly
• Quality control and proper packaging

Goods go nowhere without it – the forklift truck! The scopes of application of this means of transport are diverse. They are used in retail and in industry as well as in logistics centres. The range of products on offer is accordingly wide. It extends from manually operated pallet lift trucks to forklifts with electric motors, gas or diesel engines to heavy-duty lift trucks with a load-carrying capacity of 50 tonnes.

What do we produce for the forklift truck sector?

HÖRMANN Automotive delivers welded assemblies in low, medium and high volumes. We advise our customers already in the offer process in order to achieve the best result for the final customer together. A wide range of simultaneous engineering instruments is available to us, with the help of which the development times can be minimised and the quality of the components can be influenced as early as in the product creation process.

The single part production (2D/3D lasering, nibbling, edging, rolling, bending, forming, deep-drawing) upstream of the welding process as well as the production and procurement of the required jigs and fixtures are part of the range of services provided by HÖRMANN Automotive. Our expertise when it comes to manual and semi-automated welding processes and the mastering of fully automated production in the high-volume sector are clear proof of our extensive range of services in the welded assembly sector. If required, we also deliver painted assemblies and systems JIT/JIS directly to the assembly line of our customers.
