AUTOMOTIVE

FAUX LEATHER FOR VEHICLE INTERIORS

Durable interior surfaces developed for the technical requirements of different vehicle segments.

SECTOR

EVERY SEGMENT
HAS ITS OWN
REALITY

Different vehicle segments call for different solutions, technically and in design alike. A city bus seat and a caravan interior meet daily use in completely different ways, and automotive upholstery has to answer both — for years, without losing comfort, appearance or colour consistency.

Penche Automotive collections are automotive faux leather surfaces developed for a broad field, from cars and coaches to public transport, commercial vehicles and caravans. Each collection is tested against the abrasion, flexibility and maintenance criteria its segment requires, and holds its form and its colour in heavy use.

Our colour laboratory offers manufacturers colour matching and texture development. Our flexible production structure adapts to vehicle projects of every scale.

A city bus and a private car share almost nothing but a seat. Penche develops for the segment.
