The experts will also cover developments in interior trims and surfaces and what the future of seating holds. Automotive fabrics have advanced significantly over time; once used primarily due to their durability, fabrics now contribute substantially toward enhancing cabin aesthetics, which our experts will further explain during the second half of the webinar.
