What Etem Gestamp does

Etem Gestamp is a joint venture formed in 2019 between Etem Group (Greek aluminum extrusion leader, 50+ years experience) and Gestamp Group (Spanish-headquartered international automotive metal components group present in 23+ countries, 20+ years experience). The company operates from Sofia, Bulgaria, with approximately 109-111 employees and is registered as Etem Gestamp Aluminum Extrusions AD, with a wholly-owned operating subsidiary Gestamp Etem Automotive Bulgaria AD. Its core business is the extrusion and processing of aluminum profiles for the automotive industry, producing crash-relevant structural components, chassis and suspension parts, CMS profiles, door and roof components, and battery packs and fixing elements for electric vehicles, alongside non-automotive transportation and industrial profiles.

The company's underlying technology centers on aluminum extrusion manufacturing capability, anchored by a recently acquired SMS 11-inch extrusion press with 4500 tonnes of force, capable of producing profiles up to 500mm external circumscribing cycle and 25 kg/m theoretical weight, plus 10-inch lines supporting cut-to-length profiles up to 14m. Etem Gestamp pairs this with downstream post-forming and machining services, alloy selection per EN 573-3, and a fully automated production planning system. The operation is certified to IATF 16949, ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and 27001, holds EcoVadis and ASI sustainability certifications, and carries the TISAX label — collectively qualifying it as an accredited Tier 1/Tier 2 automotive supplier.

Etem Gestamp makes money by selling custom and standard aluminum extrusions, fabricated components, and machined parts directly to automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, working with customers from concept and prototype through testing to serial production. It also serves transportation (truck/trailer) and general industrial segments. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and revenue figures are not available; the GTM motion is enterprise field sales with OEM-embedded co-development. The company markets primarily through its corporate website and is currently expanding production capacity with a planned passivation and powder coating line to be operational by end-2026.
