On the occasion of the visit of the mayor of the city of Baunatal, Manuela Strube, and the economic promoter, Klaus-Peter Metz, to the Volkswagen plant in Baunatal, both were able to see for themselves the impressive symbiosis of the manufacturing infrastructure at Volkswagen and the know-how support provided by the specialists at METAKUS Automotive GmbH, which is also located in Baunatal. 

The focus was set on the production of hot stamped body components, which are characterized not only by their extremely low weight, but above all by their high crash resistance. The fact that the global breakthrough of this technology began almost 20 years ago right there in Baunatal is more than just a side note.

Fritz-Eckhard Emmeluth, Deputy Production Manager, impressively explained that the world’s largest production site for hot stamped autobody components at the Volkswagen plant in Baunatal, with 12 production lines, would certainly not have succeeded without the expertise of the hot stamping specialists around Agim Ademaj at METAKUS from the very beginning. 

All in all, a striking example for the vibrant high-tech network in Baunatal!
