Automotive Interiors
Material Solutions for Cars
If a car looks pretty on the lot, it will get a lot of looks. 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, choose materials that create a comfortable, safe and reliable experience for the driver. On average, Americans spend nearly an hour a day in their cars—make sure they’re your cars.
