TMG Automotive and Haartz Corporation have announced a joint venture, TMG & Haartz Solutions, and invested in a new manufacturing site for automotive surface materials.

Located in Bostic, NC, the facility, dedicated to synthetic leather manufacturing, will occupy the renovated former Milliken Golden Valley plant and span nearly 300,000 square feet. The joint venture will focus on the localized supply of surface materials for seat covers, instrument panels, door pillars and shift gear boots to supply customers across the Americas. Together, the partners bring more than 150 years of combined experience in the automotive industry.

“TMG is pleased to formally announce the next phase of a longstanding and successful partnership with the Haartz Corporation: the joint establishment of a new manufacturing facility in the United States,” said Jose-Antonio Texeira, co-CEO of TMG Automotive.

He continued, “This strategic decision is the result of a deep-rooted relationship built on mutual trust, aligned values and a shared commitment to excellence in the automotive sector. Both companies have consistently demonstrated a strong understanding of the industry’s evolving demands and a dedication to delivering superior value to customers worldwide.” He added, “The selection of the state of North Carolina as the location for this new facility reflects a careful and thorough evaluation of the conditions necessary to support sustainable growth, operational efficiency and proximity to key markets. This investment will not only enhance our capacity to serve the North American automotive industry, but also reinforce our global supply chain and innovation capabilities. We are confident that this initiative will generate long-term benefits for our organizations, our employees and the local communities in which we operate. It marks a significant step forward in our joint pursuit of industrial excellence and customer satisfaction”.

“Haartz is delighted to announce our joint effort with TMG, a strategic continuation of the great collaboration between our two companies,” said John Millea, president of Haartz Corporation.

“Bringing a passion for innovation, creativity and sustainable growth to North Carolina provides all of us with a great sense of excitement and optimism for the future.”

He continued, “Haartz and TMG Automotive both know what it takes to support the automotive industry; our track records speak for themselves. Whether separately or together, our two companies have shown a willingness to tackle and solve the most complex of challenges. Adding synthetic leather capabilities in this region will expand our product offerings for customers in the Americas. TMG & Haartz Solutions is truly looking forward to engaging with the local community to bring a first-class manufacturing operation to a fantastic location in the Southeastern US.”

In related news, Renault has used pineapple and linen as a sustainable alternative to leather, to respond to the challenges of climate change and conservation of resources.
