About Thun Automotive GmbH
Who we are
The activity of the company Eichenauer Forming began in 1899 with the production of parts for the construction of motor vehicles. This is after over a hundred years, resulting from the merger with existing since 1947 Sträter stamping GmbH, a contemporary and powerful companies in the automotive supply industry. The automotive industry required by the global structure, even more than other industries, close cooperation of highly qualified staff and the use of best design, manufacturing, logistics, and quality procedures. It is important that, in addition to selecting the optimal production location is a fundamental criterion for the process, power and logistics chain. Conditions which the ESU oak Auer Sträter Forming GmbH brings back from the building development to series production of home and customer-oriented uses. In the areas of stamping and forming, it is mandatory to respond quickly to the needs of different customer groups, so OEM, Tier 1 and Tier 2, and other supply areas and implement them immediately. The high logistical, technical and economic demands of the automotive manufacturer is lived naturally on all instances.
