The Sustainable Materials division will work across Business Groups and propose a full cockpit low CO2 and even CO2 negative materials approach to OEMs to support their sustainability objectives.
Faurecia will use its experience of formulating bio-sourced materials and their transformation background, including low variability management.
Faurecia is planning to build a dedicated Sustainable Materials R&D Centre and a Pilot plant, both operational in 2022.
The new entity will initially employ 125 engineers and more than 400 in 2030.
