The present disclosure relates to a securing element for securing objects, such as vehicle seats, or for clamping loads, such as luggage, to a bodywork component and a securing system having a securing element. In order to confer increased strength on the securing element and furthermore to be able to secure it to the bodywork component in an inexpensive manner with a connection of high strength being produced, it is proposed that it has a composition comprising a sheet metal component and an elongate reinforcement element, the reinforcement element being surrounded with respect to the longitudinal direction thereof at least in a region at least in a partially peripheral manner by the sheet metal component so as to be able to transmit force.
