Fabric-wrapped metal cover with fold

Large-area fabric-wrapped metal covers place particularly high demands on the industrial wrapping process due to their significant part size and the specific material properties of metal. At the KHL Interior GmbH plant in Wuppertal, high-quality fabrics and textile components are applied evenly to the large-format metal carrier. The subsequent circumferential edge fold ensures clean, protected material terminations and excellent edge quality.

Process goals and applications

Thanks to precisely tuned process parameters in our production systems, we achieve:

• Wrinkle-free surfaces: Homogeneous and even material tension across the entire large surface
• Dimensional accuracy: Distortion-free bonding without thermal deformation of the metal base body
• Applications: Large-format interior parts, functional covers, and integrated trim elements with high requirements for design and durability

This technology delivers durable visible parts for the automotive and rail industries that remain form-stable even under strong sunlight and extreme temperature changes.
