Automotive Raising quality levels, increasing productivity and lowering costs in the automotive industry

The automotive industry is subject to increasingly intense competition. Faced with a tighter squeeze on prices and margins, many manufacturers are moving production to lower-cost countries in the East. So automotive manufacturers need a trusted partner with global delivery capabilities.

In addition, rising environmental pressures are increasing demand for lightweight metals/alloys and plastics. Technically advanced welding solutions can help automotive players design lighter, more fuel-efficient cars that release fewer emissions.


Put Linde’s expertise to work for you

Our extensive network of engineers work closely with you to balance your productivity, quality and cost requirements. From fully automated laser welding systems for industrial-scale plants to manual welding solutions for car repair shops, our experts will find the perfect fit for your needs.

We back up our extensive, innovative welding and cutting portfolio with a wide service offering. This includes safety training to ensure that all the gases you need are installed and handled properly. Last but not least, we can deliver all these products and services – also as turnkey projects – anywhere around the globe.

Highlights of our automotive offering include:

  • All-in-one welding solutions

  • Complete laser gas solutions

  • Thermal spray coating solutions for the perfect surface finish

  • Heat treatment processes to achieve the desired microstructure, physical properties and surface properties

  • Environmentally friendly cleaning solutions

  • Productivity-enhancing cryogenic gas solutions for moulded plastic & rubber components and tyres

  • Refrigerant supply solutions  for mobile air conditioning systems.
