From a single part to the body-in-white structure
Ever since cars have existed, we have been developing, producing, and supplying metal parts—and, for the vehicles of today, hybrid structures—for the automotive industry. From a manufacturer of individual parts, we have grown into an internationally recognized development supplier of components and body-in-white structures.
KIRCHHOFF Automotive provides vehicles worldwide with extra stability and safety.
But we also offer our customers much more than that: we make a considerable contribution to the growth of their competitiveness.
The crucial cost and logistical advantages of our streamlined, medium-sized company structure with international presence serves a single purpose: to drive the market success of our customers and safeguard our innovative strength and earning power. This is our pledge worldwide.

Our customized innovations at IAA Mobility 2025
Following our great success at Auto Shanghai in April, we are now looking forward to IAA Mobility in Munich, where we will once again be presenting our innovations and demonstrating how we are making mobility safe, lightweight, cost-efficient, and sustainable. Under the motto “ENGINEERED FOR YOUR NEEDS,” we will present customized solutions that are precisely tailored to the specific requirements of our customers.
Cross Car Beams: Diversity in Safety
We will showcase the entire range of our cross-car beam technologies. From proven steel sheet construction to innovative aluminum designs and pioneering hybrid constructions (tube-in-tube), every solution is precisely tailored to the vehicle architecture and safety requirements of the respective customer. We are particularly proud of our series parts for Lixiang and Volvo XC40, which demonstrate how different material approaches deliver optimal results.
Crash management systems: Customized safety solutions
Our crash management systems illustrate how we develop the right solution for every type of vehicle. Whether cold-formed steel, partially hot formed components or aluminum designs, each system is individually tailored to the crash requirements and design specifications. Series parts from Stellantis Smart Car to Jaguar E-Pace demonstrate our international expertise and manufacturing competence.
Body-in-white structural parts: Precision for every vehicle concept
Our body-in-white components are perfectly tailored to the respective vehicle architecture. Each part is developed and manufactured according to our customers' exact specifications and requirements, e.g., the A-pillar made of Sibora for the Porsche Panamera, B-pillars with innovative 2D patch technologies, or specialized underride protection systems.
The four pillars of our engineering expertise are
- Innovation: Continuous development of our technologies for the mobility of tomorrow
- Lightweight construction: Weight-optimized solutions for better efficiency and range
- Cost savings: Cost-efficient manufacturing without compromising on quality and safety
- Sustainability: Sustainable materials and production processes for a green future
