At 84, Richard Oberle has revolutionized automotive manufacturing with the Giga Press, developed alongside Fiorenzo Dioni. This massive die-casting machine transforms electric vehicle (EV) production by creating large underbody sections with fewer parts, reducing waste and energy consumption.
The Giga Press’s 5S injection system ensures precision, simplifying production lines and cutting costs. This innovation earned Oberle and Dioni the prestigious European Inventor Award in 2024.
The Giga Press is also protected by a series of patents, covering its advanced die-casting processes and the innovative 5S injection system. These patents safeguard the technology’s unique features, ensuring exclusivity and encouraging continued investment in sustainable automotive manufacturing.
Oberle’s decades-long career in die-casting and hydraulic systems culminated in this groundbreaking achievement. His enduring vision highlights that innovation knows no age, inspiring a new era of sustainable and efficient EV manufacturing.
