The setting up of the KIRCHHOFF Automotive Tec Center in Attendorn
two years ago was another important step in becoming
a development supplier to the international automotive industry.
It enables us to expand our range of services from “build-to-print”
supplier to independent development partner. KIRCHHOFF Automotive
is capable of offering the entire chain of development
including the design concept, the calculation of the finite elements,
feasibility tests and prototyping with the concluding quality certificates
and endurance tests.
