Toyota Boshoku is a leading company that develops and manufactures complete automobile interior systems, while Autoneum and Nihon Tokushu Toryo have some of the world’s highest levels of acoustic technologies in the field of soundproof automotive components. In 2012, the three parties agreed to establish a cooperative relationship in the automobile interiors business. Since then, the parties have deepened business collaboration to address various challenges by leveraging their specific expertise.
The parties have agreed to establish a joint venture in the beginning of 2018 in order to further deepen their ongoing cooperative business relationship. Using the buildings and equipment of Toyota Boshoku’s Oguchi Plant, the new company will be engaged in NV evaluation and analysis of automobile interior and exterior systems for Toyota Motor Corp. and other automotive-related companies, along with advanced development of the systems. The new company will merge the parties’ high level of technological development capabilities so that it will be entrusted with NV evaluation and analysis based on manufacturers’ trust.
As an organization that continually proposes and provides superior automobile interior systems to its customers throughout the world, Toyota Boshoku says it will make every effort to provide our customers with excellent interior spaces under the concept of “Quality Of Time And Space” in all aspects of human mobility. In particular, the company will strengthen its automobile interior system development capability by strengthening the technical cooperative relationship between the three parties in NV evaluation and analysis.
