Technology & Products
Key Products
Stainless steel exhaust systems (standard, sport, racing); sound attenuation and vibration damping solutions; catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters; engine optimization; heat/sound insulation; custom 3D-printed metal components using Meltio DED wire-laser technology; exhaust system components (mufflers, tail pipes, flanges, flex pipes, clamps, V-band clamps)
Technological Advantage
First company in Scandinavia to install a Meltio robotic wire-laser metal 3D printing cell (ABB 6-axis robot + 2-axis positioner). Multi-material printing in single structure. 50% cost and time reduction on custom components vs. traditional fabrication. 1,532 m² solar panel installation covering ~65% of energy needs. ISO-certified quality management system.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Handmade stainless steel exhaust systems with lifetime warranty, combining traditional metal craftsmanship with advanced wire-laser metal 3D printing for custom, high-performance automotive and industrial components.
How They Differentiate
Combines 65+ years of exhaust craftsmanship with cutting-edge wire-laser metal AM (Meltio Robot Cell — first in Scandinavia). Multi-material printing capability (heat-resistant alloys + stainless steel in single structure). In-house 3D scanning, rapid plastic prototyping, and digital workflow. Lifetime warranty on products. Vertically integrated: design, prototyping, manufacturing, and engine optimization under one roof.
