From electrical systems to instrument panels
DRÄXLMAIER produced door panels for the Goggomobil. Over time, additional interior products were added, including the instrument panel and gearshift lever. DRÄXLMAIER had multiplied its product range many times over within the shortest possible time.
New manufacturing processes
In 1960, the company installed its first high-frequency welding units for door panels. At the same time, vacuum forming of thermoplastic films for instrument panels was implemented.
New product segment
The raw material for processing leather into automobile interiors was literally right outside the door. Lower-Bavarian cattle provided leather, which was processed by hand with a lot of expertise. Since 1964, DRÄXLMAIER also handled the production of parts made of deep-drawn and foamed polyurethanes, i.e. plastic.
New home
DRÄXLMAIER built its new headquarters at Brückenstrasse in Vilsbiburg. The company moved into the building in 1964.
