The seat frames that have begun to be produced at this new plant are the next-generation “TB-NF110 Series” seat frames with reduced weight and resources, which are realized by the use of high-tensile steel for a portion of the seat frame material.
TBAI is the third manufacturing base that began production of these seat frames in June 2011, following Japan and North American region. These seat frames are assembled at Toyota Boshoku Somain S.A.S. in France, and then shipped to the new Toyota Yaris manufacture, Toyota Motor Manufacturing France S.A.S.
Toyota Boshoku Corporation and Aisin Seiki Co., Ltd. held an opening ceremony at their joint venture company, TBAI Poland Sp. z o.o., to celebrate the production start of seat frames and seat covers
