About Bergmann Automotive
Bergmann Automotive GmbH is a supplier specialized in cylinder liners (cast-in liners) for the automotive industry, headquartered in Barsinghausen near Hanover. The company manufactures grooved liners, structured liners, press-in liners, hybrid liners and wet liners to customer specification. The value chain includes development, raw material procurement and recycling of secondary metals (including steel scrap, punching waste and chips), melting operations with metallurgical analyses, fully automated centrifugal casting on casting carousels manufactured exclusively for the company, as well as machining of the blanks on transfer machines and CNC-controlled manufacturing cells of the company's own design. Small series and prototypes are produced semi-automatically. Quality inspections are carried out in the company's own laboratory, precision measuring room and at inspection stations with 3D measuring equipment. At its 35,000 m² production site, Bergmann Automotive operates as a key supplier for international OEMs and tier suppliers, having supplied virtually all well-known automobile manufacturers. Shipping is handled worldwide via the ports of Hamburg, Bremerhaven and JadeWeserPort.
