Mobility

AUTOMOTIVE SOLUTIONS

Knitted solutions redefine mobility across a wide range of applications, from strollers to aviation seating. High-performance textiles combine strength, breathability, and adjustable elasticity, enabling lightweight and adaptive structures. Function is integrated directly into the knit, delivering load-bearing capacity, comfort, and targeted cushioning without additional components.

Advanced 3D-knitting allows seamless production with minimal waste, supporting efficient and sustainable manufacturing. Material and structural variations create new possibilities for ergonomic design and acoustic performance, while offering extensive freedom in color and texture.

In automotive applications, these capabilities enable next-generation seating and interior components. Freestanding knitted structures replace conventional foam systems, significantly reducing weight while improving comfort and adaptability. From seat covers to interior elements, solutions are tailored to meet demanding performance, safety, and design requirements, supporting innovation across the mobility sector.
