To the limits of cold forming.

The companies of the ESKA Group share the common core competence of massive cold forming and thus the manufacture of high-strength metal products with a high degree of forming. For 140 years, the limits of forming technology have been constantly redefined for the benefit of customers. Today, 403 employees at two German sites develop and produce fasteners and formed parts.

The technological basis is the multi-stage press with four to six forming stages. Our customers value the innovative products, excellent quality and perfect logistics of the ESKA brand. It has made our company a recognized development partner.

Sustainability policy of ESKA Automotive GmbH

ESKA Automotive GmbH is a globally active company with locations in Europe and Asia. We are aware of our responsibility and contribute to the preservation of nature and the environment.

We base our actions on the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Our employees are our company’s top priority. We pay attention to gender equality as early as the personnel planning stage. We increase the qualifications and personal development of our colleagues through ongoing training programs. Safe and healthy workplaces and equipment help to maintain health. We ensure employee satisfaction through fair pay and attractive additional social benefits. The offer of mobile working and flexible part-time and full-time working time models are further building blocks for reconciling family and career. Our German sites are certified to ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 50001 and are regularly monitored.

Our products make it possible to create detachable connections. Our vision is to enable further use of our components over the life cycle of the application. The reuse of parts saves resources to a considerable extent and takes precedence over product recycling. Sustainability is already taken into account in the design of the parts. The aim is to enable our parts to be used for many years. After use, the parts should be recyclable in order to create a circular economy. The efficient process of cold forming enables the material used to be kept constant in volume from the first forming stage to the finished part.

In contrast to machining, this technology reduces the use of materials to a minimum. In production, we rely on energy-efficient measures to reduce the resources used. Heat recovery and the use of district heating help us to minimize the use of fossil fuels. In future, this will be supplemented by the use of photovoltaics. We are aiming for zero defects in order to increase quality and customer satisfaction and reduce the use of materials. Our employees are actively involved in the CIP process. The development of new technologies increases our expertise and flexibility and enables us to reduce transport routes and resources used through insourcing. Automation and further digitalization support these processes.

ESKA already supplies a large number of parts made of aluminum. The weight advantages of lightweight construction reduce fuel consumption and make it possible to design more filigree supporting structures. We manufacture parts made of copper for the expansion of e-mobility. The material is used in these applications due to its excellent conductivity. We also apply the sustainability requirement to our supply chains for raw materials and contract work. Overall, we enable our customers to achieve their own sustainability goals in the best possible way via the supply chain.
