Alfred Kron GmbH from Solingen is your experienced B2B manufacturer for high-precision formed parts in series production. With state-of-the-art stamping and forming technology as well as decades of experience, we produce metal components for automotive, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, household appliances and house/building technology.
Formed parts made to drawing are created through targeted plastic deformation of metal, in which the material volume is preserved. Typical processes are bending, deep drawing, embossing, extrusion or combined stamping and forming processes. Through these methods, complex geometries can be produced with high strength and material efficiency.
Production takes place on modern Bihler stamping-bending machines, Bruderer high-performance stamping machines, Andritz Kaiser presses and Raster press systems. Several process steps such as stamping, bending and forming are combined in an automated sequence – for precise, economical series production of even complex components.
Thanks to an in-house toolmaking shop and engineering team, Alfred Kron realizes individual solutions "from a single source" – from design through prototypes to large-scale series production. The material grades, such as stainless steel, copper, aluminum or special materials, are precisely adapted to technical requirements such as strength, conductivity or corrosion resistance. Design requirements, especially for visible parts, are also met at Kron. A wide range of options is available here – from high-gloss, decorative surfaces to maximally inconspicuous, matte black coatings.

Formed Parts – Production, Materials, Applications and Advantages
Formed parts in modern industries
Machine-produced formed parts made to drawing are central components for connection, fixing or functionality in industrial products. They are made from metal through plastic deformation, creating complex geometries that simultaneously offer high strength, precision and material efficiency. Alfred Kron GmbH stands for high-quality formed parts that are produced on state-of-the-art machines and meet industrial standards.
What are formed parts?
Formed parts are components produced through targeted plastic metal deformation – without material loss. Typical processes:
- Bending: adaptation of contours and angles
- Deep drawing: production of hollow bodies or housings
- Embossing: integration of functional elements
- Extrusion: high strength with complex cross-sections
- Combined stamping and forming processes
These processes in forming technology enable economical series production, high strength and maximum material utilization.
