Swiss-made: serial production for demanding automotive applications
From drawing to reliable series supply: We deliver tube-based components into series production.
With highly automated, cost-efficient production we ensure security of supply — stable processes and on-time delivery.
40 M Automotive parts/year
30+ years automotive experience
High automation level
Tube & material know-how
IATF-certified processes
Our expertise in action
Our product is not the tube. We deliver tube-based automotive components.
Focused on application and function — so your part works reliably in assembly and performs over the vehicle lifetime.

Co-Engineering
In the development phase, we optimize design, material and the manufacturing route together — for an economically manufacturable series solution.
Material sourcing
High-quality materials sourced from a global, trusted supply base — supported by our purchasing network.
Cut‑to‑length
High-efficiency cutting & end preparation — ready for sale or as a basis for further processing.
Multi‑Step Processing
Multi-step, highly automated — for assembly-ready components and repeatable series quality.
Final product
Assembly-ready components — supported by processing engineering and project management. From SOP to EOP.
Supply chain solutions
On-time delivery, flexibility and assembly-ready packaging — security of supply across the program lifecycle.
Series examples
Safety components - fully automated lines for efficient precision manufacturing
Steering parts - best-in-class efficiency and reliable worldwide supply chain
Chassis - robust parts, precisely manufactured, reliably supplied
How we support your project
You bring requirements and function — we bring material, tube and manufacturing know-how to make your component manufacturable, economical and process-stable in series production.
01
Inquiry & feasibility
- You send the drawing/spec — we check material, tube and manufacturability for series production.
- You receive options: process route, effort and viable alternatives.
- Outcome: a robust basis for quotation and project kickoff.
02
Industrialization
- We build the right setup: from standard machines to dedicated, linked lines and automated cells.
- High automation level with robots and handling systems, supported by integrated inspection concepts — tailor-fit to volume, tolerances and quality requirements.
- Outcome: sampled and validated process ready for SOP.
03
SOP & ramp-up
- We stabilize the process and support the ramp-up with engineering & project management.
- Control plan, escalation paths and changes are defined and traceable.
- Outcome: predictable ramp-up without quality jumps.
04
Serie bis EOP
- Delivery reliability across the lifecycle — with aligned logistics and capacity planning.
- Changes in series: documented, evaluated, implemented.
- At EOP: ramp-down and end stocking as required.
Why Kindlimann?
Series supply takes more than manufacturing: industrialization discipline, automotive-grade quality and stable supply. We combine Co‑Engineering with highly automated execution — for reproducible quality over the program lifecycle.
Industrialization competence
- We translate requirements into a stable, scalable series process — from concept to SOP.
- Highly automated lines and robotized manufacturing cells that measurably improve repeatability, quality and piece cost.
- Integrated inspection and monitoring concepts (e.g., inline control/SPC) secure ramp-up and series performance
Material access & global sourcing
- Multi-material expertise: carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminium — welded or seamless, round or profiled.
- Series focus: material and specification aligned to function and industrialization.
- Purchasing power in the group: >700,000 t/year — the backbone for material access and security of supply
Quality & delivery performance
- IATF-certified processes, Automotive Core Tools & Change Management – ausgelegt auf stabile Serie.
- Measurement concepts from inline control/SPC to 3D CMM — for robust capability and traceable quality.
- Changes in series: documented, inspected and implemented — plus aligned logistics and assembly-ready packaging.
- Additionally: ISO 45001 (occupational health & safety) & TISAX (information security)
Tube & material know-how
Tubes are our core. We combine material expertise with industrialization and processing know-how so your specification runs stable in series — from ramp-up to ongoing supply.
- Secure manufacturability early: We validate specification and tolerances so repeatability is achievable in series — not just on the first batch.
- Availability & alternatives: We plan material access and viable alternatives upfront — aligned with SOP and ramp-up timing.
- Trade-offs made explicit: Function, cost and series robustness are weighed transparently — enabling fast, defensible decisions.
