The Toyobo Group is to exhibit at Auto Expo 2020 – Components, India’s biggest automobile-related exhibition, on Feb. 6-9 in New Delhi. The event will showcase a diverse range of products and technologies, from auto parts, decorations and accessories to measuring instruments and manufacturing equipments. It is expected to attract about 120,000 visitors from 67 countries.

Toyobo, appearing at the expo for the first time, will present its functional resin products, non-woven fabrics made with long filaments, cushion materials and electret air filters – which are used in some car components – under the theme of “Environment, Comfort, Safety and Peace of Mind.” 

Through the exhibition, Toyobo will demonstrate how its highly functional resin products and materials can help save space inside autos, make them lighter and improve their interior air quality.
