FORVIA on Social Media

There’s a material used in every car that can truly make a difference in reducing emissions.
At FORVIA Seating, we turn this material into high value-added components through our core manufacturing expertise.

That material is steel.
Inside our plants, steel goes through multiple forming processes to meet strict automotive standards and the demands of mass production.

Some parts, like seat recliners, require extremely precise shaping.

To cut the carbon footprint of these steel components, we’ve been working with key partners across the entire steel value chain.
Together, we’ve aligned on future volumes of CO₂ reduced and fully decarbonized steel.

Today, FORVIA Seating is ready to shift 70% of its European steel portfolio to lower emission alternatives.

It’s a concrete step forward. And it brings us closer to designing products with a significantly smaller environmental footprint.
