This project, developed in collaboration with the Gestamp Group and Tecnalia and Autotech Engineering technology centers, aims to manufacture certain large automotive components (called extreme parts) through the application of new technologies and the use of new materials.

In particular, the reference piece in the development of the project is the door ring, for which it is wanted to achieve larger sizes and more integrated models, at a lower production cost.

This requires a new hot stamping process, for which a modular static oven is designed, composed of several independent chambers, as well as a loading machine, adapted for large formats and tight cycle times.

This project, EXTREPA, has been co-financed by the SPRI, Business Development Agency of the Basque Government.

Plasma Furnaces in Aluminium Recycling

Plasma is more than theory: it is reshaping aluminium recycling. With over 30 years of industrial experience, I share what works, what fails, and why plasma matters. From higher yields to drastic emission cuts, this is a candid look at technology and its real strategic outlook.

Inside GHI Off Site 2025: One Team, One Goal

What does it take to align 80+ people across departments around a single, long-term goal? At GHI Smart Furnaces, we paused our operations for one day and put the question to the test — with zero slides and one Michelin star.
