Applications
Currently, tailor welded products are primarily used in the automotive industry. Popular applications include: side frames, doors, pillars and
rails. Yet there are many more possibilities! Possibilities that: reduce steel costs, improve product quality and optimize your production processes.
Moreover, there are many potential applications, in a wide variety of industries, including: alternative energy, trucking, rail car manufacturing,
shipbuilding, construction, trailor manufacturing, and furniture industries. In fact, tailor welded products can be applied, where ever steel
is used!
