Toyota Boshoku and Aisin Seiki have held an opening ceremony at their jointly owned and operated company, TBAI Poland, to celebrate the production start of seat frames and seat covers.

The frames produced at this new plant are the next-generation TB-NF110 series that use high-tensile steel in the 980 MPa-class 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 America.

These seat frames are assembled at Toyota Boshoku Somain in France and then shipped to Toyota Motor Manufacturing France for installation in the third generation Yaris built there.
