Advanced Form Parts are engineered components that can be manufactured with the core Agrati Group technology: the cold forging process.

These parts are used in several fields of automotive applications:

  • chassis
  • seatings
  • brakes and safety systems
  • engine
  • powertrain & driveline systems

These are products manufactured according to strict customer specifications.

Dedicated control plans during production and the ability to do 100% sorting before packaging guarantee the complete fulfilment of quality requirements.
