\/>\nbut European industrial reality is still based on solid, reliable, and highly skilled processes.<\/p>\n<p>A concrete example: i<b>perforated pipes for silencers<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>At our Terni plant, at <b>K\u00f6nig Metall GT<\/b>, we produce around <b>40.000 perforated tubes per day.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In reality, it means directly contributing to the <b>production of exhaust silencers<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><b>To put this into perspective<\/b>:<br \/>\nIn Europe, an average of <b>over 60,000 cars are produced every day<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>This means that every day most vehicles are equipped with components produced by <b>K\u00f6nig Metall GT<\/b>, often invisible, but essential for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>noise control<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/li>\n<li>exhaust
