Toyota Boshoku and Aisin Seiki Begin Manufacturing Seat Components in Poland

The company that has begun this manufacturing is TBAI Poland, which was established in Poland in 2009 to produce interior components for automobiles and is jointly owned and operated by Japanese suppliers Toyota Boshoku and Aisin Seiki. TBAI is the first seat frame plant in the European Union for both companies.

The seat frames that have begun to be produced at this new plant are the next-generation "TB-NF110 Series" seat frames that were jointly developed with Toyota Motor Corporation and others to contribute to improved fuel efficiency performance in automobiles. The seat frames are characterized by the structure designed in the pursuit of excellent riding comfort performance with reduced weight and resources, which are realized by the use of high-tensile steel in the 980 MPa-class for a portion of the seat frame material.

For the present TBAI supplies seats to Toyota Boshoku Somain, which is the seat assembly base for the Toyota Boshoku Group in France, but we plan to have TBAI supply other seat assembly bases in the future.
