Automotive Interiors
Material Solutions for Cars
If a car's appearance is beautiful on the lot, it will attract attention. If it feels good and operates smoothly inside, it will attract even more buyers. From aesthetic features, such as the shade of the dashboard, to technology components such as the interactive GPS screen, choosing materials that create a comfortable, safe, and reliable experience for the driver is crucial to a successful care sale. On average, Americans spend nearly an hour a day in their cars—make sure they’re your cars.
