SupplierBusiness : Plastics in Automotive Construction
|
Abstract
The use of plastic system solutions has taken on an increasingly significant
role in the automotive industry in the last few years. Used increasingly in
the body & exterior, interior & trim, glazing and even under the hood,
plastics offer forming and processing advantages, weight saving opportunities,
economies as well as many other benefits.
Background to this study
This report provides you with an overview of the technical development
highlights and trends, the ever-evolving characteristics of the various types
of plastics, their applications and their increasing prevalence over other
materials in car manufacture. It benefits from a thorough and extensive
original research exercise, which included the author interviewing and
documenting the opinions of a number of senior executives in the sector. Also
covered are company profiles of the leading suppliers of plastics to the
automotive industry such as BASF AG, Bayer Material Science AG, Borealis AG,
B&W Fahrzeugtechnik GmbH, Akro-Plastic GmbH, Germann Kunststofftechnik GmbH
and others.
