Ultra-Lightweight Structural Technologies

Reduced Weight, Increased Stiffness & Crash Performance
Premier automakers rely on Dura-Shiloh for innovative solutions that keep pace with CAFE and safety standards.

Dura-Shiloh structural architectures leave no stone unturned in the journey for improved vehicle range.

Smart combinations of aluminum castings, stretch-bended profiles, composite materials, and high-strength alloys are integrated using Dura-Shiloh in-house manufacturing technologies. The result is module optimization, engineered to provide the perfect fusion of function, form and sustainable performance.

Ultra-Lightweight Structural BIW Architectures

For more than three decades, Dura-Shiloh has engineered and manufactured lightweight structures for luxury and performance nameplates. Working in unison, our computer analysis teams collaborate with Dura-Shiloh in-house German tool makers and assembly artisans to craft the perfect architecture.
