BRINGING

MOVEMENT

Working for the automotive sector for more than 60 years

Casadesús began in 1953 as a family company located in a well-connected rural area near Barcelona. The time we have been working in the automotive sector and the valuable OEM’s endorse us.

We have a great deal of knowledge and experience in the mechanization of steering parts, and we are specialized in the production of pitman arms / drop arms with tapered splines since 1986. Our export activity began in 1992, and now represents 98% of our revenue. The entry of big automotive brands in the sector required continuous improvement of us throughout our production system, and thanks to that we implemented the ISO 9002/ IATF 16949 and ISO14001 quality management system.

Our clients are the leading industrial vehicle and passenger transport manufacturers and forge companies. The procurement of the forge parts is undertaken both by the company on its own behalf as well as on the client’s. We manufacture parts according to the blueprints and specifications of the clients, collaborating with them from the beginning of the project to demonstrate our ongoing experience, to add value and to optimize the process. Thus we guarantee the maximum quality of the product at a competitive price.

Working together for a common goal.
