The Company
ALUNATEC is an experienced engineering company for product development and design in the automotive industry.
The focus is on lighting technology, interior and exterior components, controls and e-mobility solutions.
For more than 30 years, ALUNATEC has supported development projects along the entire product creation process (PEP) – from concept development through pre-design and detailed design to series maturity (SOP).
Development consistently follows automotive standards and combines CAD design, FEM and CFD simulations, tolerance analyses and DMU investigations into consistent, series-ready solutions.
ALUNATEC works flexibly as a development partner for OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers and technology companies – on site or remote.
Clear structures, high technical precision and a practical understanding of manufacturing ensure high-quality, efficient and economical results.
