About GHV Umformtechnik
GHV Umformtechnik is a forging company specializing in the hot die forging of steel, titanium, austenites and nickel-based alloys. On press lines with press forces from 630 t to 2000 t, components weighing from 0.2 kg to 12 kg are manufactured; the billets are prepared before forging on cold shears up to 90 mm diameter as well as circular and band saws up to 250 mm diameter. The value chain includes complete in-house engineering: design, forming simulation as well as development and in-house production of forging dies and tools on CNC milling centers. The forged parts are then heat treated in-house and machined on CNC turning centers in automated series production. Quality assurance is carried out using a 3D coordinate measuring system, verified inspection equipment and individually developed test fixtures. Customers come from the aerospace and automotive industries; the company is certified, among others, to EN 9100 and IATF 16949.
