We explore the habits, needs and desires of drivers and passengers. These insights — along with the inspiration we draw from outside the automotive seating market — help inform our future initiatives. They allow us to meet new industry developments such as personalization, lightweighting and new mobility, head on.

Our manufacturing processes can deliver on a just-in-time (JIT) basis, but our product design work begins well in advance. We utilize today’s product portfolio in a unique way to meet our customers’ evolving needs — like our concepts for autonomous vehicle seating solutions: AI-17 for privately owned vehicles, AI-18 for ride sharing and AI-19 for level 5 autonomous experience.
