From chipless forming to circular materials, we make stronger parts with fewer resources.
Sustainability
Because cold forging shapes parts without removing material, it is an inherently material- and energy-efficient manufacturing method. At KPS we reinforce this advantage with energy-monitored production lines, recycled steel scrap and environmentally friendly passivation chemicals.
Occupational health and safety for our employees, responsible sourcing in our supply chain and contributing to our region are the cornerstones of our sustainability approach.
No chips, no scrap
Cold forging shapes parts without removing material. Almost all of the raw material ends up in the product, so far less material and energy is used than in machining.
Because the grain flow of the metal is not cut during forming, the parts are stronger. Longer-lasting products mean fewer replacements and lower resource consumption.
We measure, monitor and reduce
We continuously monitor the energy consumption of our production lines and improve inefficient points as we identify them.
In heat treatment and forming we prefer energy-efficient equipment and keep losses to a minimum through planned maintenance.
From scrap back to production
We separate the steel scrap generated in production and send it for recycling, so the steel returns to the value chain as raw material.
In surface treatment we use environmentally friendly passivation chemicals and dispose of waste in compliance with regulations.
A safe workplace, responsible sourcing
The occupational health and safety of our employees is our priority. We ensure a safe working environment through regular training and risk assessments.
We follow responsible sourcing principles in our supply chain and contribute to employment and development in our region.
