Complex components for cars and e-mobility

Vehicle components for the interior, exterior and powertrain

Ideas for plastics, metals and assemblies

With our network of production facilities, service and logistics points as well as on-site consulting, we support all major automotive manufacturers worldwide as a system supplier. Our portfolio includes plastic components, hybrid components and assemblies for all areas and a wide range of requirements. The variety of manufacturing processes and materials also offers plenty of scope for implementing completely new ideas. We are not limited to classic vehicle types, but also supply concepts and series products for new mobility concepts.

The diversity of OKE Areas of application

Interior

Parallel to the development of autonomous driving, the interior is also evolving. As the driver’s attention is no longer completely focused on the road, the interior is becoming more important. A study by McKinsey also confirms that the design of the interior, connectivity features and comfort are becoming increasingly important for purchasing decisions.” (McKinsey&Company: The Future of Interior in Automotive. September 7, 2021)

Our products contribute in different ways to making your stay even more pleasant: Trims and panels provide a high-quality look with a pleasant feel, foamed products improve the acoustics, the interior lighting can be adjusted for different activities, function-integrated surfaces ensure better wettability, bondability, adhesion properties or tribological properties, hybrid components are lighter and have a long service life. The scope for functional integration is very wide thanks to our variety of material combinations.

Vehicle seat

With the further development of autonomous driving, ergonomic enhancements to seats and seating postures are also possible. Rotating and swivelling seats, new armrests and backrests and even more individually adjustable configurations are becoming possible. Our product portfolio includes profiles for fastening, implementing contours, upholstering and connecting. We also offer a wide range of tried and tested solutions for movable elements.

Exterior

We produce components for vehicle exteriors in almost any size. From large underbody parts to fine connecting elements, we supply filigree and complex components such as trims, body and structural components for a wide range of applications, as well as particularly resilient, impact-resistant, UV and weather-resistant products that can withstand even high temperatures and offer an attractive design. Our body attachments also provide surfaces that optimize various finishing processes such as grinding, polishing, coating and painting.

We assemble functionally integrated assemblies inline or in downstream work steps. We also assemble functional and decorative metal parts, reflectors, sealing and damping elements as well as a wide range of very different electrical components partially or fully automatically. We support the developers to achieve the best combination of lightweight construction, appearance, robustness and functionality.

Powertrain

We also produce drive components. By using engineering plastics, material combinations and modern technologies, we realize advantages such as weight reductions, a reduction in components and assembly processes through function integration, improved NVH performance (NVH = noise, vibration, harshness) and cost savings, depending on the application.

Our Powertrain division includes fluid and thermal management, components for control and regulation as well as components for reducing noise and vibrations. In no other area are multi-component technology and assemblies used more frequently: seals, threads and the combination with high-performance plastics are part of almost every component in this area, but automated and demanding quality tests are also part of our work!

Examples of our development priorities
Board electronics

We supply our international customers with a broad product portfolio for on-board electronics. This includes both simple individual parts and complex assemblies. Our core competencies include connectors in the high-voltage sector as well as the overmoulding of contacts and the integration of seals.

Thermal management

We have been processing metals for over 100 years – and combining metals and plastics for many decades. Our experience with this combination of materials forms the basis for the production of components for thermal management.

Pneumatic vehicle suspension

Suspension components are exposed to high loads. We manage to reduce the use of materials, simplify production processes and guarantee quality. Transparent and seamless.

Vehicle doors and tailgates

Thanks to our expertise in locking technology and vehicle electronics, we understand the requirements for vehicle access components. We create functional levers, housings and covers that are tailored to the overall system.

Plastic extrusion

We have decades of experience as experts in plastics extrusion. In the automotive sector in particular, we develop and produce plastic solutions that meet the high technical and quality requirements of the vehicle industry.

Material substitution

We advise our customers on adapting the hardness, elasticity and resistance or very specific requirements that the component must meet. In the case of expensive raw materials or high processing temperatures, we can often offer materials that are cheaper and also meet the requirements. Example: TPU.

Trends and innovations
Embedded connectivity

By 2030, around 95% of all new car sales will be equipped with embedded connectivity. We supply electrical components and housings for vehicle sensors that collect real-time data on the use, performance, charging habits of electric vehicles and traffic conditions.

OKE in the electronics industry
Intelligent manufacturing

Our process design has changed at a breathtaking pace in recent years. Starting with the real-time monitoring of machining processes using internal device sensors, we are now in the midst of technologies such as industrial IoT, 5G, the use of artificial intelligence and digital twins.

Alternative drive systems

With the further development of alternative drives, we are expanding our product portfolio and our technological expertise. While we continue to have a strong presence in fluid management, the proportion of our products used in e-mobility is growing. From simple cable ducts for e-bikes to complex thermal management components, our technological versatility means we are at the heart of the transformation and further development of different drive types.

our technologies
Optimal supply chain

ReducingCO2 emissions has been an important issue for us, and not just since the Supply Chain Act came into force. With international production sites, service points, warehouses and wholesalers, the quality of our advice is high, but our customers’ supply chains remain lean!

our locations
OKE in the chassis Much more than hot air!

A good example of the interaction of different processes is our product for air ride suspensions. The air suspension cover is assembled from two components using the hot gas process, each of which has an individual DMC code. This means that important production parameters can still be traced years later. Each air suspension cover is gas-tested before delivery. We leave nothing to chance!
