Applications

Tailor welded products are primarily used in the automotive industry with popular applications including side frames, doors, pillars and rails. Whatever the application, TWB can help design solutions to reduce material cost and weight, improve quality and performance while optimizing your production processes.

Potential applications outside automotive include solutions for industries such as: alternative energy, appliance, trucking, rail car, shipbuilding, construction, trailer, elevator/escalator, and furniture. Wherever steel and aluminum are used, tailored products can be applied to improve results.
