ATTENDORN, Germany—GEDIA Automotive Group, a manufacturer of metal assemblies for car bodies and chassis, has ordered a new press-hardening line that will be accessible by people with disabilities. Designed by Swedish press company AP&T, the new line will enable staff with physical disabilities to monitor and manage the press-hardening process without hindrance.

“It is important for us at GEDIA to make our workplace more inclusive. [The new line is] a step in the right direction,” says Björn Müller, project manager for new machines at GEDIA.
