Our products for lighting systems allow for maximum output, control heat, and withstand harsh conditions inside and outside the car.

Finding ways to reduce weight is a high priority for vehicle manufacturers, because lighter weight corresponds to better fuel efficiency for gas-powered vehicles and more miles per charge for electric cars.

Examples include automotive dashboard elements, car bumpers, wheel covers, appliance components, E&E housings, personal care bottle caps and make-up containers.
