Next week’s Automotive Interiors Expo in Novi, Michigan will see over 110 exhibitors present their latest innovations and manufacturing solutions to help enhance and upgrade existing and future car programs.
Headline exhibitors include BASF, Dupont, Grupo Antolin, Juki America, MacDermid Enthone, Recticel and Velcro.
The show is all about interior quality, color, texture, touch, feel and innovation, and is a must-visit for Tier 1 suppliers, as well as for interior design teams from car manufacturers keen to keep up with all the latest trends and technologies. Over 2,000 attendees from across the globe are expected in total.
You’ll find a wide range of fabrics, acoustical materials, shape-forming materials and foams, fasteners and adhesive systems, lighting and more. Read all the latest show news, here.
Unlike many other automotive shows, the exhibition is closed to the public. This ensures a strong focus on business, with more time to interact with exhibits, ask detailed questions and discuss custom requirements.
