JAPAN: Webasto makes switch to Korean sunroof glass
Webasto Japan is buying sunroof glass from Saint-Gobain's Korean operation, saying that it is superior in percolation (below 10 percent) and features light shielding that can reduce temperatures inside a vehicle. Webasto also plans to reduce costs by exporting directly from Korea where labour costs are lower.
