DEP Showcases Innovation at Great Designs in Steel Symposium (GDIS)™

For over two decades, the Great Designs in Steel Symposium has been a key platform for showcasing evolving steel technologies and their applications in modern vehicles. Attendees can expect a full day of expert-led discussions on advanced materials, future mobility trends, automotive innovations, and manufacturing technologies shaping the next era of vehicle design.

Mr. Madhu Jampala, Director at Detroit Engineered Products, will be presenting at the Great Designs in Steel Symposium 2026 - a globally recognized platform dedicated to innovations in automotive materials and next-generation vehicle design. His session, Efficient AHSS & UHSS Steels Front End Designs As Giga Casting Alternatives, is scheduled for May 20, 2026, at 3:15 PM.
The session will showcase advanced front-end design concepts utilizing Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) and Ultra High Strength Steel (UHSS) as effective alternatives to giga casting. It will cover optimized structural engineering approaches that enhance crashworthiness while reducing overall weight, along with scalable and cost-efficient manufacturing strategies using steel-based solutions. Additionally, the presentation will highlight how advanced engineering techniques enable the development of durable, high-performance vehicle structures without relying on large casting methods.
In line with the symposium’s focus on future mobility, the presentation underscores the vital role of steel in delivering safe, efficient, and sustainable automotive architectures.

Aligned with the symposium’s vision for future mobility, this presentation reinforces the critical role of steel in enabling safe, efficient, and sustainable automotive solutions.
