Product examples FORMTEC

Heat shield fastening
The heat shield in the car is subjected to extremely high temperatures and significant temperature fluctuations (‑40°C to +300°C). Our FORMTEC fasteners easily meet these requirements.

The fastening element is durable and does not break – even under thermal expansion.

Customer benefits

High load capacity

Fast assembly (push-in setting process)

Thermal and vibration decoupling

Reduced number of parts

Cost-efficient
Panoramic glass roof water drain
Water remaining on a car's panoramic glass roof can result in corrosion and leakage. All the more reason for our FORMTEC glass roof water drain.

Our hybrid solution ensures that water flows off at all times.

Customer benefits

Easy to mount (manual installation)

Robust, water-tight solution

Cost-effective solution

Does not influence the design of the vehicle
Fastening for an air intake system
To securely fasten an air intake system on the engine block, we developed a highly durable FORMTEC special insert.

The fastener, manufactured through cold-forming, is robust and not only guarantees secure fastening, but also quick installation (press in).

Customer benefits

Robust

Fast installation (press in)

High torque resistance

Reduced costs
Fastening a towing eye
The towing eye of a vehicle can be subjected to heavy loads. You get a secure fastening with the FORMTEC special nut.

The newly developed system enables installation of the towing eye directly in the plastic frame.

Customer benefits

High mechanical performance

Low-cost

Fast installation (press in to set)
Fastening system for a vehicle battery
This stud with a plastic cage has been designed and developed with the aim of reducing the cost compared to that of the previous turned part.

Customer benefits

Added blue colour improves visibility in the engine

Increased weight

Screw-in time reduced by half
Fastening the spare wheel
Thanks to the internal and external thread, this assembly can be fastened on the car body and also can be used to fasten the wheel.

Customer benefits

Internal and external thread

Safe and reliable
Cabinet latch
This special latch was developed to rapidly install and remove the rear rails of control cabinets.

Customer benefits
