Several months ago, application development engineers at Jäger needed a special material for the “Case Mat Q5,” an elastomeric insert for the map case pocket of each door on the Audi Q5, a compact SUV. While Jäger had developed interior TPE parts in the past, its development engineers and designers had since created a modified manufacturing technology that was more demanding on the elastomeric material.

This provides ample time for brand owners and designers to create, develop, and introduce their products when the trends and their influences are expected to be prominent.
