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.

This is the motto of Auto Shanghai, which will take place in Shanghai, China, from April 23 to May 2, 2025. There, we will be presenting new products and innovative body solutions that will make the mobility of tomorrow safer.
This trade fair is one of the most important and largest automotive trade fairs in the world and is an important meeting place for innovations and trends in the automotive industry.
Our latest lightweight products also ensure that people are optimally protected in the vehicles of the future in the event of an accident. MAKING.MOBILITY.SAFE. – is what we offer our customers worldwide with production sites in Asia, Europe and North America. Our message to our customers at Auto Shanghai is: “Globally present for your business”, because we follow our customers into new markets and enable them to launch their products smoothly. In doing so, they benefit from our comprehensive expertise in the areas of economical lightweight construction and crash performance.
We demonstrate our innovative strength with innovative new developments:
- We achieve better crash performance, less weight and lower CO2 emissions by using a new steel grade made of silicon-boron steel. Tests with a hot-formed B-pillar show higher crash safety thanks to better energy absorption and lower material usage.
- Thanks to its special open-shell design, an innovative steel module cross member offers a high level of functional integration, which helps to reduce costs.
If you would like to find out more about our innovative product developments and our global production network, you can find us at our stand: 1BG080 in hall 1.2 from April 23 to May 2.
