One of the key challenges facing the automotive industry is the need to produce vehicles that are stronger and safer, yet lighter and more fuel-efficient. Corus Automotive is meeting demands through the production of tailor welded blanks (TWB"s).

Assembled from strategically chosen materials of different grades, thicknesses and coatings, TWB"s provide the precise properties required at specific points.

Key benefits include:

• A major reduction in component weight, which improves vehicle fuel efficiency
• Improved structural integrity and crash performance
• Consolidation of parts, which simplifies logistics, production processes and assembly
• Optimisation of material properties and utilisation
• Reduction in multiple tooling, providing cost-downs on implementation costs
• Elimination of stiffeners and overlapping joints, which reduces costs and improves corrosion resistance
• Due to Corus Automotive's expertise in high quality skin panels, outer body parts are also feasible.

We are accredited to TS 16949:2002, ISO14001:2004 and ISO 9001:2000, and we also hold quality approvals from OEMs and first tier suppliers.
