Description of Commercial Vehicle Group Inc's Business Segments
Global Truck and Bus Segment Products
Set forth below is a brief description of our products manufactured in the GTB
Segment and their applications:
Seats and Seating Systems. We design, engineer and produce Seats for MD/HD Truck,
and bus applications. For the most part, our Seats are fully-assembled and ready
for installation when they are delivered to the OEM. We offer a wide range of
seats that include mechanical and air suspension seats, static seats, bus seats
and military seats. As a result of our product design and product technology,
we believe we are a leader in designing seats with convenience and enhanced
safety features. Our Seats are designed to achieve a high level of operator
comfort by adding a wide range of manual and power features such as lumbar support,
cushion and back bolsters, and leg and thigh support. Our Seats are built to
meet customer requirements in low volumes and produced in numerous feature combinations
to form a full-range product line with a wide level of price points. We also
manufacture seats, and parts and components for the aftermarket.
Trim Systems and Components. We design, engineer and produce Trim for MD/HD
Truck, and recreational and specialty vehicle applications. Our Trim products
are used mostly for interior cabs of commercial vehicles as well as exterior
components for commercial recreational and specialty vehicles. Our Trim products
are designed to provide a comfortable and durable interior along with a variety
of functional and safety features for the vehicle occupant. The wide variety
of features that can be selected makes Trim a complex and highly specialized
product category. Set forth below is a brief description of our principal products
in the Trim category:
Trim Products. Our trim products include door panels and other interior trim
panels. Specific components include vinyl or cloth-covered appliqués,
armrests, map pocket compartments, and sound-reducing insulation ranging from
a traditional cut and sew approach to a contemporary molded styling theme.
Instrument Panels. We produce and assemble instrument panels that can be integrated
with the rest of the interior trim. The instrument panel is a complex system
of coverings and foam, plastic and metal parts designed to house various components
and act as a safety device for the vehicle occupant.
Headliners/Wall Panels. Headliners and wall panels consist of a substrate and
a finished interior layer made of fabrics and other materials. While headliners
and wall panels are an important contributor to interior aesthetics, they also
provide insulation from road noise and can serve as carriers for a variety of
other components, such as visors, overhead consoles, grab handles, coat hooks,
electrical wiring, speakers, lighting and other electronic and electrical products.
Storage Systems. Our modular storage units and custom cabinetry are designed
to improve comfort and optimize space for the operator. These storage systems
are designed to be integrated with the interior trim.
Floor Covering Systems. We have an extensive and comprehensive portfolio of
floor covering systems and dash insulators. Carpet flooring systems generally
consist of tufted or non-woven carpet with a thermoplastic backcoating. Non-carpeted
flooring systems, used primarily in commercial and fleet vehicles, offer improved
wear and maintenance characteristics.
Sleeper Bunks. We offer a wide array of design choices for upper and lower
sleeper bunks for heavy trucks. All parts of our sleeper bunks can be integrated
to match the rest of the interior trim.
Grab Handles and Armrests. Our grab handles and armrests are designed and engineered
with specific attention to aesthetics, ergonomics and strength.
Privacy Curtains. We produce privacy curtains for use in sleeper cabs.
Plastics Decorating and Finishing. We offer customers a wide variety of cost-effective
finishes in paint, ultra violet, hard coating and customized industrial hydrographic
films, paints and other interior and exterior finishes (simulated appearance
of wood grain, carbon fiber, brushed metal, marbles, camouflage and custom patterns).
