High-performance partner for mobility

At Wickeder Group, we specialize in supporting developers, manufacturers and suppliers in the automotive industry on their path to the future—with custom composite materials for a wide range of applications.

Our product range includes high-quality composite materials such as aluminium-copper, aluminium-steel, bronze-steel and much more. These materials offer outstanding properties and performance advantages that meet the ever-growing requirements of the automotive industry.

Typical applications in the automotive industry

Metal automotive body with a load-bearing vehicle structure for lightweight construction and industrial vehicle production.
  • Connection material between various body components
  • Weight advantage
  • Good brazing and welding properties
  • Prevention of brittle intermetallic phases during welding
Heat shield made of embossed metal with an integrated insulation layer for thermal shielding in vehicles and industrial systems.
  • Connection material between various body components
  • Weight advantage
  • Good brazing and welding properties
  • Prevention of brittle intermetallic phases during welding
Plain bearing bushings with self-lubricating composite material for low-friction bearings in mechanical and drive engineering.
  • Good corrosion resistance
  • High heat reflectivity
  • Protects against heat input
  • Excellent forming and strength properties
  • Good brazing and welding properties
  • Weight savings of at least 60% compared to pure copper (nickel)
  • No contact resistance between aluminum and copper (nickel)
  • Maximum design freedom
  • Optimized heat transfer
  • Surface finishing possible
  • Thermal short-circuit resistance
  • Long-term stable
  • No process change required in further processing
  • Simplified assembly due to lower weight and higher flexibility

Bipolar fuel cells require precise components for efficient energy conversion and safe media routing. Etched metal structures support fine geometries, clean processes, and reliable cell functions.

Filters and screens in vehicles handle tasks related to protection, air routing, and media control. Precise metal structures enable reliable function, even in compact installation spaces and under high requirements.

  • Savings in process costs during brazing
  • Good thermal conductivity and distribution
  • Excellent formability
  • Highly efficient manufacturing process for heat exchangers by reducing process steps
  • Excellent weldability
  • For cooling in special industrial applications

Advantages and benefits for mobility

You benefit from high-quality products at an economical price.

You benefit from a vast range of design possibilities for the parts – one step closer to your ideal solution.

You benefit from fewer disruptions in further processing, which promises the required production and product safety.

Thanks to the non-wearing tool and sophisticated manufacturing process, you benefit from consistent parts while maintaining tolerances throughout the entire product life cycle.

You benefit from successively fully automated further processing in your subsequent processing, which will bring you clear advantages in terms of total cost.

You benefit from eliminating additional cleaning processes, which is reflected in a cost-effective part price.

Our standards are industry-leading

Our goal is to achieve the highest customer satisfaction through excellent quality. To guarantee this to our customers, our processes are constantly monitored and further developed through strict quality controls. We combine the infrastructural capacities, the level of experience, and the strategic orientation required to exceed the increasingly demanding requirements of automotive OEMs.
