In 2020, PERSICO SpA acquired Kiefel Automotive GmbH’s technological know how in the manufacture of automotive trim parts.
PVIR series PVIT series PVIB series  
 
OVERVIEW
 
In addition to advanced technology, namely patents and know-how, Persico also acquired highly trained employees, including engineers, as well as set-up and testing machinery. Starting with this innovative and solid foundation, Persico has been building on new state-of-the-art technology.
 
PERSICO Automotive GmbH, with extensive expertise in vacuum laminating and subsequent edge folding, is based in Kirchanschöring, in an industrial area near the main international players in the automotive sector. Thanks to the acquisition, parent company Persico SpA in Italy, Persico USA Inc. and our other worldwide subsidiaries are able to offer the global market a full range of services from design to series production.
 
Persico's Technical Laboratory Centre: For all processes, Persico has a wide range of lab machinery and equipment at our technical centre based in Kirchanschöring.
 
THERMOFORMING SIMULATION
 
Software process simulation is one stage in the development of machinery and tools for interior parts.
 
Your benefits:
  • Feasibility analysis and risk assessment during the design phase of the interior part
  • Fast and cost-effective comparison of various thermoforming technologies and selection of the best cost-efficient alternative
  • Cost-effective process for optimization of prototype and series tools
  • Matching and optimization of the clearance for adjacent parts at an early project stage
 
Persico’s product offering has been significantly expanded with the new technologies in the Kiefel Automotive product range, including:
  • IMG – IMGL
  • Vacuum laminating
  • NSL (net-shape lamination)
