Automotive Rolls – Premium Foams for Vehicle Interiors
Our solutions for the automotive industry impress with easy handling & an efficient use of materials – customers appreciate an improved interior climate & homogeneous surfaces with a soft touch
As a partner to the automotive industry, we develop and produce foams for vehicle interior components. These foams impress with their simple, low-emission handling, a homogeneous surface appearance and excellent tactile properties with a soft touch. Our interior foams are available with fine or open cell structures, depending on the application. High elasticity, thermoforming and good resilience at critical radii are some other advantages of our foams for interior components.
We supply a large number of automotive suppliers worldwide (Tier1 & Tier 2) with foams for automotive interior components. These include headliners, car seats & climate-controlled seats, for instance, as well as door cladding and armrests. Our products have been validated by major OEMs. Our R&D team supports customers all over the world from our Competence Center in Europe.
