2018. February 07. 09:13
Neuss, Germany, 7 February, 2018 (APA/OTS) - Yanfeng Automotive
Interiors (YFAI), the global leader in automotive interiors, today
opened a new innovation center at the Neuss location. The space
will house approximately 40 employees working on different
disciplines relating to the vehicle interior of the future in this
more than 2,550 square meter location.
Forty of the total 600 YFAI employees in Neuss have moved. The
objective of the new innovation center, which is located close to
the site of the European headquarters, is to bring together all of
the different functions of the innovation team under one roof.
These include consumer and market research, as well as industrial
design, product and process innovation, and user experience. In
addition to the traditional interiors business of door panels,
floor consoles, and instrument panels, the company is also focused
on the interior of the future, which is increasingly characterized
by the use of new, innovative materials and technologies. These
include, for example, functional, smart, or adaptive interior
surfaces that enable a new style, user experience, and interior
function.
"We aspire to actively design the mobility of tomorrow, which
is characterized by such global mega-trends as autonomous driving,
electromobility, and car-sharing, as well as new players and
technologies, rather than simply responding to significant changes
in the automotive industry," said Han Hendriks, Chief Technology
Officer for YFAI. "With the new location we want to give our
multi-disciplinary teams more space and also ensure improved
cooperation."
The new building offers the company's creative teams room to
stretch out and supports transparent and efficient working. It
includes a new, spacious showroom for product innovations and the
company's concept cars.
In total, the Yanfeng Automotive Interiors innovation team has
approximately 150 employees working globally in four innovation
centers. In addition to Neuss, they are also found in Shanghai
(China), Holland (Michigan, USA), and Sunnyvale (California) which
is located in Silicon Valley.
