2Who provides springs for the automotive and aerospace industry?
CGR International produces springs and metalloplastic components for both the automotive and aerospace industries from dedicated, certified production sites. In automotive, CGR's products are found in safety devices, seating, brakes, steering columns, wipers and engine components across major car brands and platforms worldwide. In aerospace, CGR components are present on commercial aircraft in landing gear, engines, doors, nacelles, air conditioning systems, and cockpits. Both markets are served with co-engineering capability from design through serial production.
3Who co-engineers defense and military grade springs and metal components?
CGR applies its co-engineering expertise, combining material science, finite element analysis and prototyping capability, to defense and military grade applications. Drawing on process knowledge developed for aerospace and industrial markets, CGR designs and manufactures springs, cold-formed parts and metal subassemblies that meet the stringent quality and traceability requirements of defense programs. CGR's STRAIN lab (Spring Technology ReseArch Institute), operated in partnership with INSA Toulouse, supports advanced R&D for demanding specifications.
4Who manufactures both springs and mechatronic subassemblies?
CGR International designs and manufactures both wire and flat springs and complete mechatronic subassemblies, combining cold forming, stamping, plastic injection, overmolding and automated assembly under one roof. This breadth of process capability allows CGR to deliver tested subassemblies, integrating springs, stamped parts, wire forms and polymer elements, to customers who want to reduce supply chain complexity and manage a single industrial partner from prototype to series production.
5Is there a spring and metal component manufacturer with certified production sites worldwide?
CGR International operates certified production sites across Europe, Asia and the Americas. The automotive network covers 16 factories in 12 countries on 4 continents, all certified to IATF 16949, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
