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.

STELLANTIS Honors KIRCHHOFF Automotive as “Supplier of the Year”!
We are delighted and proud to announce that on October 28 in Paris, KIRCHHOFF Automotive was recognized by STELLANTIS as one of only 20 outstanding suppliers worldwide with the title “Supplier of the Year” – out of several thousand suppliers globally!
The automotive manufacturer STELLANTIS, whose brands include Peugeot, Citroën, Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge Ram, and Jeep, honored our exceptional performance, reliability, and continuous commitment to operational excellence with this award.
The prestigious ceremony took place during the fifth annual STELLANTIS Supplier Awards. The event was hosted by Chief Purchasing Officer Monica Genovese, accompanied by the STELLANTIS Executive Leadership Team. Over 200 partner companies attended, and inspiring keynotes covered topics such as product strategy, brand development, customer experience, and quality.
We were particularly recognized in the category “Program Management.” In 2024, we successfully launched several global programs for STELLANTIS – including the establishment of our new plant in Puebla, Mexico, to support Jeep’s KM program.
Additionally, we stepped in on short notice for another supplier and delivered technical solutions and prototypes in record time. This rapid and flexible response was crucial to keeping the program on track.
Our CEO and Chairman, Wolfgang Kirchhoff, emphasized: “At KIRCHHOFF Automotive, product development and industrialization run in parallel – the connecting element is project management. For over 25 years, we have demonstrated our expertise in this discipline, particularly when building new plants for STELLANTIS.”
This award is a tremendous achievement for our entire company – it belongs to all of us! We are thrilled about this recognition and thank all KIRCHHOFF Automotive employees for their tireless dedication, innovative spirit, and passion.
The nominees and winners were selected by a global, cross-functional STELLANTIS team. Evaluation criteria included performance, innovation capability, alignment with STELLANTIS values, and shared objectives.
Let’s celebrate this success together – it’s proof of our strength and commitment!
