Dräxlmaier Group

Automotive innovations made by Dräxlmaier 

The DRÄXLMAIER Group is a globally active systems partner to the international automotive industry.

Since its foundation in 1958, the company has been developing and manufacturing modern wiring systems, exclusive interiors and central electrical and electronic components – with a clear focus on the automotive premium segment. As a technology leader, DRÄXLMAIER is helping to shape the automotive future – for example with sustainable lightweight construction, innovative interior production and the individualization of the interior. For example, a center console produced using DRÄXLMAIER's innovative Fast Fibre Forming D3F process is around 20 percent lighter than an interior component produced using the conventional plastic injection molding process. In its manufacture, DRÄXLMAIER also needs only one mold – thanks to a combined compression and injection molding process.

The innovative production process used for the thin-walled enclosure also offers a high degree of efficiency. Here, DRÄXLMAIER realizes different surfaces such as foil, molded skin or imitation leather with only one carrier.
