The current XF Sportbrake has been a big success for JLR in what was previously a market sector they had not been strong in. With sleek styling and stunning good looks the XF Sportbrake has retained the Jaguar reputation for building highly desirable cars.

Automotive seats are now amongst the most sophisticated fixtures in a modern car. Balancing stylish good looks with driver comfort and safety requires highly specialised design and production skills.

Lear Corporation lead the world in these skills and they produce seats for every major vehicle manufacturer across the globe.

Auto-Fasteners are supplying Lear with bespoke components for other OEM platforms such as the new Audi R8 Spyder and others.

The Lear Corporation Seating production plant in Voderady Slovakia opened in early 2016.

This investment in new larger facilities in Slovakia is to cater for the increased demand in Europe from Lear’s OEM customers. Auto Fasteners are very proud to be a part of their supply chain to deliver world class products.

Today Ford is the 5th largest global automotive manufacturer and employs over 210,000 people worldwide in 90 plants and facilities. Headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, USA.

Now that we are an approved supplier to Ford, this gives us the potential to offer our products and services on a global scale to Ford’s facilities across the world. On behalf of AFL, I am extremely proud of this achievement and very excited for a long-term cooperation.
