Company Overview
ELO Automotive, located in Aldeia de Paio Pires, Portugal, is a specialized manufacturer of suspension leaf springs and trailing arms. With a history rooted in the Batista Russo Group and later the GALUCHO group, the company has evolved to become a significant player in the automotive suspension industry. ELO Automotive holds an ISO 9001 Quality Management Certification, underscoring its commitment to high standards across its operations. The company's focus extends primarily to international markets, with over 95% of its production destined for export, particularly to Germany, France, and Italy, and Germany representing over two-thirds of its total output.
Products and Offerings
ELO Automotive offers a comprehensive range of suspension components designed for various vehicle types and machinery. Their product portfolio includes Conventional Leaf Springs, also known as multi-leaf springs, which are manufactured from specific spring steel grades and profiles. These are primarily utilized in medium to heavy vehicles, agricultural, and industrial machinery, valued for their ease of repair despite their weight and volume.
An advancement in suspension technology, Parabolic Leaf Springs are designed for constant stress, using a parabolic profile to optimize steel usage, resulting in significantly lighter springs with virtually non-existent interleaf friction. Additionally, ELO Automotive produces Trailing Arms, developed specifically for air suspension systems commonly found in trailers, buses, trucks, and various machinery. These components act as a hybrid between a parabolic spring and a structural element for holding the axle and air bellow, characterized by higher thicknesses and designed for high spring rates.
Quality and Market Presence
The company's commitment to quality is evident in its partnerships with top-tier European steel suppliers and stringent quality control processes. High-strength and fine-grained steels undergo proprietary heat treatments to ensure optimal performance and durability throughout the springs' service life. ELO Automotive supplies premier OEM axle manufacturers and collaborates with leading European aftermarket parts suppliers for trucks, trailers, and light commercial vehicles. The company prides itself on its team of highly skilled professionals, flexibility in manufacturing small and medium batches, and a continuous drive to meet and exceed customer expectations.
Over its history, ELO Automotive has consistently invested in technical and technological skills, including computer-aided design systems and the automation of production processes, progressing towards Industry 4.0 digital transformation. This strategic development has consolidated its position as a reliable and innovative partner in the global suspension market.
