Cutting and stamping of technical parts for the automotive industry
Cutting and stamping of technical parts for the automotive industry
For over 70 years, Fondex has been supporting automotive manufacturers and equipment suppliers in the production of technical metal parts through cutting and stamping: fasteners, mechanical components, connectors, technical sub-assemblies, etc.
Fondex serving the automotive industry
Our expertise in the value chain (co-design, tooling, cutting and stamping, assembly, finishing, cleanliness), backed by our IATF 16949 certification, makes us the ideal subcontracting partner for industrialising and producing all types of technical cut or stamped parts for vehicles with combustion, electric or hybrid engines.
Our commitment? To meet the specific requirements of the automotive industry.
Automotive parts require a high level of expertise in industrialisation and production constraints. For each part, we integrate the following objectives from the development phase onwards
Dimensional accuracy
Our monitoring tools guarantee perfect consistency across series of several million parts, even with very tight tolerances.
Space management
In a vehicle environment where every millimetre counts, we design compact geometries that are perfectly integrated into sub-assemblies.
Mechanical strength
We select materials and treatments suited to the mechanical, thermal, or vibratory constraints of your parts.
Waterproofing
We industrialise parts that meet the most stringent sealing requirements, thanks to a rigorous selection of materials, precision in design and mastery of assembly processes and finishing operations.
Weight reduction
Our solutions for cutting and stamping technical parts for the automotive industry enable weight reduction without compromising on strength, as an alternative to machined or moulded parts.
Cost control
In-house control of tooling and mass production, combined with a design-to-cost approach, ensure excellent value for money.
Reliability and repeatability
We implement a strict quality approach with traceability, automated controls, and production monitoring.
Respect for the environment
Fondex applies good environmental practices: waste reduction, production in France, compliance with standards.

Examples of projects for the automotive sector
Printed circuit board mounting plate
Electronic control unit component for LED car headlights.
This part secures the printed circuit board, seals the control unit and dissipates heat.
Electronic calculator cover
Electronic control unit component for LED car headlights.
This part provides waterproof protection for the control unit and connects it.
Heatshield
The heatshield is a crucial internal component of turbochargers. Its main function is to ensure a perfect seal inside the turbo, thereby improving engine performance. By ensuring an adequate seal, this component promotes increased power and efficiency in the vehicle, providing reliable and durable engine performance.
