Sustainability without sacrificing strength

You shouldn’t have to choose between performance and responsibility. Our wire solutions support durable, high-quality seat designs—while helping you reduce environmental impact.

Involving us early in the development process means you can design seats that are lighter, use fewer resources, and still meet the highest standards for safety, comfort, and performance.

Imagine designing a seat so that – together across the value chain – we reduce its sustainability impact throughout its entire lifecycle.

What if early collaboration on the seat frame design could lower the overall CO₂ footprint, even reducing the need for foam or other materials?

Sustainable seating starts here:

  • Optimize designs to cut emissions, material use, and waste.
  • Integrate recyclable wire solutions for a more circular lifecycle.
  • Minimize scrap and energy use without compromising comfort or quality.

Reinforcing every seat at every point

Our wire solutions seamlessly adapt to the diverse requirements of modern automotive seating. Whether you’re enhancing seat suspensions, optimizing headrests, or reinforcing side bolsters, our solutions provide the perfect balance of strength, durability, and flexibility.

  • Seat suspension: Ensuring comfort and support with lumbar support, cross wires, and zig-zag wires.

  • Seat reclining system: Reliable performance for connecting rods and springs in continuous and discontinuous recliners using bars, tubes, and power springs.

  • Seat frame: Reinforced strength with low carbon steel wire and spring steel grade for torsion bars and rear seat frames.

  • Powered seating: Improving movement with flexible shafts, galvanised and brass-coated ropes, and uncoated or coated casing wires.

  • Seat heating: Efficient warmth with Bekinox® VN heating cables.
  • Seat trim: Customized wire and conductive yarns for smart fabric applications.

  • Headrests: Supporting ergonomic design with Bezinal®-coated spring wires.

  • Other applications: High-tensile Spring wires, phosphated and galvanized wires, and EMI shielding with Bekishield®.
