THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

The automotive industry is in constant evolution and is a fundamental, strategic sector in our economy. A subsector of this vast activity – and one that is booming – is the equipment and components sector, which brings its own technological and innovative impetus to the industry.

Components designed for use in the passenger cabins and interiors of vehicles require properties that not only ensure the safety of the vehicle and its occupants, but the quality of the product. We carry out research into a vast array of textile components; upholstery, seat covers, door panels, carpets, mats, boot lining, rear trays, ceilings and others fitted inside a car.

WHAT DO WE PROVIDE THE AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR WITH?

A specialized laboratory to meet the needs of car component suppliers.

Development of research and innovation projects providing added-value solutions in the automotive sector.

Highly specialized technical training for automotive component manufacturers and suppliers.
