Key Technologies

Headliner Manufacturing

Thermoplastic Forming
Simulation

This industry exclusive forming simulation reduces tooling and start-up costs by fine-tuning surface and process requirements prior to tool release. 

One-Step Edge
Treatment

Edge folding for thermoplastics and edge mill for thermosets offer the following benefits:

  • Allows wrapping of textile for sunroof and edges for increased craftsmanship in a one-step processing environment at a reduced cost.
  • Reduced manufacturing capital and plant space. 

EcoBond Natural
Fiber Headliner

These innovative headliners provide:

  • Soy-based polyurethane foam core, soy-based polyurethane adhesive, natural fiber reinforcement.
  • Excellent acoustic absorption performance.
  • Current Thermoset process capital processing equipment.

Interior Trim Manufacturing

We offer technologies to produce our armrests and interior trim components through several manufacturing methods: 

 

  • Hand Wrap, Cut and Sew
  • Vac-Form Clad
  • Negative Vac-Form (IMG)
  • Painted (Soft Touch, Bright or Body Color)
  • In-mold Decorated
