Cold Forming

The metal processing industry greatly benefits from our powerful solutions and processes, which deliver numerous advantages. Our cold forming portfolio encompasses the entire pretreatment chain, including pickling, degreasing, activation, phosphating, neutralization, and lubrication. We provide both multi-layer tribological systems, such as conversion coatings with lubrication, and single-layer systems that can be applied in both multi-step and single-step treatments. 

To achieve optimal results, surface treatment is crucial for ensuring smooth forming, reducing friction, and preventing tool wear. Our reactive soaps and Gardolube product line, including Gardolube L and Gardolube RS oils, set a global standard for application range and reliability. The enhanced lubricity of our polymeric Gardomer L lubricants ensures superior forming results and minimizes tool wear, leading to more efficient and cost-effective production – even with complex geometries and high degrees of forming operations. 

Proper lubrication and compatibility with downstream processes enhance efficiency and drawability, allowing for cost optimization. Our Gardo® technologies, supported by expert process assistance, maximize productivity while adhering to modern ecological and performance standards. We prioritize ecological requirements and offer sustainable solutions to ensure your production processes are environmentally friendly. 

With a global network of specialists and years of practical experience, we provide the knowledge, technology, and technical support needed to optimize complex production flows. Our technologies ensure seamless forming with reduced environmental impact, making cold forming more reliable, efficient, and economical for demanding applications.
