With these extensions, the Group will be able to execute new orders awarded in the automotive segment. Consequently, Grammer will be producing interior components for passenger cars for the local automotive market in Brazil for the first time. This investment simultaneously increases Grammer’s local value chain in Brazil, allowing it to offer its customers the benefits of an integrated value chain with lean production.
Grammer is constantly engaged in developing and producing innovative, flexible solutions to meet challenges in today’s competitive global market. Concluded Mr. Ralf Hoppe, Vice President Communications, “We are driven by a passion to improve the quality of life of people who use vehicles because increasing mobility at ever-higher speeds calls for as much safety and comfort as possible.”
Grammer AG develops and manufactures components and systems for car interiors as well as driver and passenger seats for off-road vehicles, trucks, buses, and trains. As a global partner to the vehicle manufacturing industry Grammer is represented around the world by its two divisions, Automotive and Seating Systems.
Active in Brazil since 1970, Grammer do Brasil has been the leading producer of suspended seating systems for trucks and agricultural machinery in Brazil for years. With new orders awarded in the automotive segment, Grammer has now also successfully entered the Brazilian passenger car market. Grammer’s recent plant expansion in Atibaia near São Paulo provides an excellent basis for participating in the strong increase in demand for passenger and commercial vehicles in South America.
