Interiors

The Group has in-depth knowledge of plastic injection technology, which helps position it as a leader in automotive interior components. Some of its most notable products include seat elements as well as trims, protectors, and decorative parts for vehicle interiors.

The interior of vehicles evolves toward innovation and comfort

The ‘Interiors’ category includes functional and decorative parts designed to enhance passenger comfort and reflect the latest design trends. While the cabin sometimes does not receive the same prominence as other vehicle elements, it is, in fact, highly relevant in terms of efficiency, connectivity, comfort, and safety.

In recent decades, interior design has gained increasing value and importance for consumers, thanks to more comprehensive and comfortable equipment, the rise of technology, and the growing use of sustainable raw materials. All of this drives the demand for advanced materials and new surface finishes.

Teknia has long-standing experience in manufacturing automotive interior components. The innovation, rigor, and quality of the materials used by the Group enable it to meet its customers’ current needs while also being prepared for the challenges of tomorrow. This is a product category with great growth potential.

As we move toward safer, more connected, sustainable, and autonomous mobility, vehicle cabins will evolve considerably in innovation and comfort. There is still a long road ahead, and as a multitechnology partner, the Group is ready to provide manufacturing solutions to customers worldwide.

The importance of personalization

Personalization is becoming increasingly important in the automotive sector, both in the exterior and interior of vehicles. Since vehicle cabins are becoming more modular and flexible, this gives drivers and passengers the freedom to adapt them to their own tastes and needs.

From lighting, equipment, and trims to seats, an especially important element in the automotive industry, current seat design influences vehicle safety, comfort, and even fuel efficiency. Likewise, seat and upholstery customization is essential.

By using the right tools, any vehicle can have an interior that truly allows occupants to enjoy the experience of movement while driving. In this regard, Teknia is always ready to adapt to customer needs thanks to its multitechnology offering.

Multitechnology offering led by plastic injection

The interiors category is particularly represented by two technologies within the company: plastic injection and stamping. In addition, Teknia has strong experience in automatic assemblies and other proprietary technologies, such as overmolding and gas injection, as well as painting processes, enabling it to cover a wide range of interior parts.

Furthermore, the Group is capable of developing complex assemblies or components that combine various available technologies. A clear example of this is the rotating table, a complex part developed and fully produced at Teknia’s facilities, representing a key technological achievement in the integration and automation of multiple processes within the interior product portfolio.

This component combines bent tubes, stamped parts, and three different injection-molded elements. Other examples include glove compartments and kinematic parts, produced through stamping, tube forming, welding, and automated processes; or reclining systems, a key application that combines stamping, tube forming, and precision welding technologies.

Plastic injection

Plastic injection is an essential technology to offer customers innovative mobility manufacturing solutions in the fields of interiors, electronics, and safety. It involves melting raw material at more than 200ºC, injecting it into molds shaped like the desired parts, and subsequently cooling it until solidification.

Teknia has deep knowledge of this process, and its experience with raw materials covers numerous types of plastics. The most prominent plastic materials used by the company include polypropylene, polyamides, acetal resins, polycarbonates in various grades, ABS, and TPE, among others.

Through plastic injection, the Group’s plants produce numerous interior components, such as trunk coverings, seats, and painted decorative parts. Thanks to its painting lines and internal processes such as fluorination, high-quality and durable finishes are achieved. Specifically, seat covers or lids are a strategic product, while plastic headrest tube guides are expected to become one of the products with the greatest potential.

Metal technology

Metal is a key technology in the manufacture of high-precision metal components for the automotive industry.

Teknia, as a multi-technology supplier with extensive experience in tube forming and metal stamping, integrates both areas of expertise under this technology to offer complete and efficient solutions to its customers. Its technical and production capacity makes the Group a trusted partner for the main OEMs and TIER-1 companies in the sector.

One of the key products in the interiors category where Teknia uses this process is seat structures and various functional components. Both plastic injection and metal technologies represent the Group’s versatility and international capacity to provide high-quality solutions to its automotive customers.

Sustainability is at the heart of Teknia’s operations

Respect for the environment and sustainability have become fundamental aspects of industry, the economy, and society. For this reason, Teknia aims to become the best partner for mobility manufacturing through safe, innovative, and sustainable solutions that generate a positive impact on people, the environment, and governance.

Sustainability is not only integrated into the company’s business strategy—it has been part of its DNA since its origins. As part of this commitment, Teknia strives to reduce the environmental impact of production through several initiatives that promote energy savings and circular economy practices throughout the supply chain.

In this regard, all energy consumed comes from sustainable sources, while process efficiency is improved through the installation of variable frequency drives in equipment that help reduce energy consumption. Additionally, the company promotes the use of returnable packaging and recycled raw materials, along with green energy supply sources.

These measures do not affect product quality but contribute to reducing the company’s environmental footprint. The goal is to achieve climate neutrality across all operations and provide customers with completely carbon-neutral products, positioning itself as the best multitechnology partner in the sector. More information can be found in the latest Sustainability Report.

As a multitechnology partner, Teknia is a leader in combining technologies, with highly competitive production processes and advanced capabilities for manufacturing high-quality interior components for the automotive industry. Through innovation and adaptation to market needs, the Group continues to provide efficient, safe, and customized solutions globally for present and future mobility.
