Automotive

From airbags and steering wheels to seat belts – materials of all kinds are important components of vehicle interiors.
As an automotive expert, FOOAN knows how design and functionality can be harmonised with the demanding technical requirements of the automotive industry.
Technical textile structures are becoming increasingly important in the development of innovative body parts. As textile reinforcement for lightweight construction, so-called “composite materials”, for example, they are an essential component of electric vehicles. In the field of sensors and interior control elements, special textile products are increasingly becoming the focus of interior development due to their flexibility and the resulting scope for design.
For textiles that perform a wide variety of functions in terms of safety, functionality and design, the thread plays a prominent role.
 

High quality in form, colour and function

Not only high performance under the bonnet, but right down to the last seam – the automotive sector is one of the most demanding fields of application for sewing and embroidery threads.
Focused on the needs of the industry, FOOAN has been a reliable partner to car makers all over the world for a decade.
We develop and produce yarns especially for the automotive industry and meet all requirements of an automotive supplier.
Whether threads for decorative seams or for safety systems: We offer a comprehensive range of products for all components in vehicle interiors.

Passenger Safety Systems

Safety systems such as airbags, seat belts and steering wheels place the highest demands on the functionality and quality of the individual materials and components – and do so over the entire service life of the vehicle. Even under the most extreme climatic conditions, all safety systems for passenger protection must function without restriction.

Depending on the application, stringent specifications exist for the technological performance profile of the sewing threads. With our wide product range, FOOAN meets the demanding requirements of the automotive industry – at the same time, our sewing threads are ideally suited for fully automated processing.

Seating & Interior Systems

A large number of different materials are processed in the vehicle interior in the smallest of spaces. Seats, door linings, headrests and centre consoles are usually made of a combination of different materials and must withstand constant stress in use. The design concepts make high demands and impose tight specifications on the sewing threads, whether for processing in shading systems or other interior components. Our special threads reliably meet all technological requirements, impress in processing with a high degree of productivity of the sewing process and enable permanently consistent functionality of all systems involved.

Process & Application Consulting

With a wide product range of sewing threads for the automotive industry, FOOAN has made a name for itself as a supplier for a decade. However, our expertise is not limited to the development and production of special threads – we are also a conceptual partner for our customers, offering continuous technical support from project phase to subsequent series supply. Our team of experts bundles automotive expertise and accompanies the entire development process.

FOOAN speaks automotive

Focused on the needs of automobile manufacturers, FOOAN has not only the seam but also the entire component in sight. Our interdisciplinary team is at home in the automotive sector and understands the requirements of this demanding market.
