Automotive : efficiency, durability, and precision in large-scale heat treatment

Automotive market

The automotive and heavy vehicle industry demands high productivity, consistent quality, and exceptional mechanical performance. 

From engine components to transmission elements and chassis parts, manufacturers must achieve tight dimensional tolerances, excellent wear resistance, and stable metallurgical properties — all at high production volumes.

With more than 35 years of experience in industrial furnace design, Codere SA delivers flexible, robust, and highly repeatable heat treatment systems tailored to automotive, utility vehicle, and Agricultural machinery manufacturers, ensuring compliance with standards such as CQI-9 and IATF 16949.

Automotive Industry Challenges

Automotive manufacturers face several critical requirements:

  • High-volume production with strict cost control
  • Repeatable metallurgical results
  • Low distortion and precise quenching conditions
  • Full traceability and documentation
  • Ability to treat steels, alloy steels, and lightweight materials like aluminium

 

Codere systems deliver robust, stable, and automated solutions for all powertrain and structural components.
