PUNCH Powerglide Technology
Punch Metals is committed to becoming and remaining a significant market player by means of market and customer oriented innovations. By focusing on purposeful innovation and improvement, we wish to extend and consolidate our technological leadership in the following areas: Hydraulic and mechanical pressing techniques Laser cutting, CNC punching and bending on the latest generation of bending machines Assembly of pressed parts by means of all known welding and other joining techniques Deep-drawing Warm deformation of aluminium Crashbox Integrated Bumper Beams Metal tooling and assembly fixtures We strongly adhere to the principles of lean manufacturing. A lot of effort is put into the continuous optimisation of our processes and the systematic reduction of lead-time through the elimination of wasted time and effort in all steps of the manufacturing process. These measures ensure a highly competitive pricing of our products and services. Continous improvement processes as there are Six Sigma, VAVE, Value Streem Mapping, … have been implemented. Early supplier involvement, co-engineering and simultaneous engineering are valuable techniques we use in the design phase to achieve the optimum product and to reduce production costs.
