Gestamp HardTech
Gestamp HardTech develops and manufactures press-hardened (hot-stamped) components for the automotive industry. The press-hardening technique was developed by the company in the 1970s. SAAB 9000 was the first car with a press-hardened safety component. The automotive industry was, is, and will be attracted to press-hardening due to the combination of improved safety and reduced weight.
The company SSAB HardTech was acquired by Gestamp Automoción in 2004. Gestamp HardTech is a part of the Gestamp group since then. Gestamp, a Spanish company group founded in 1988, develops and produces components for vehicle manufacturers worldwide, with more than 40000 employees at more than 100 production plants and 13 R&D Centers across 24 countries.
