Welding Case: Toyota

We partnered with Toyota to dramatically improve welding

In the highly automated world of automobile manufacturing, competitors race to increase productivity through improved manufacturing efficiencies. Auto manufacturers have been searching for methods to reduce down-time and improve the quality of welding while, at the same time, reducing costs.

Luvata worked in partnership with Toyota Body Operations to implement the ‘P-cap electrode’: a unique design capable of doubling the standard electrode weld life. As a result, Toyota was able to run additional production by reducing down-time while improving weld quality. This increased productivity while lowering overall cost.

Toyota recognised our ongoing contribution with the honour of ‘Outstanding Business Partner’ in 2004.
