Notes to editors

 

CT Automotive is engaged in the design, development and manufacture of bespoke
automotive interior finishes (for example dashboard panels and fascia
finishes) and kinematic assemblies (for example air registers, arm rests,
deployable cup holders and storage systems), as well as their associated
tooling, for the world's leading automotive original equipment suppliers
("OEMs") and global Tier One manufacturers.

 

The Group is headquartered in the UK with a low-cost manufacturing footprint.
Key production facilities are located in Shenzhen and Ganzhou, China
complemented by additional manufacturing facilities in Turkey, the Czech
Republic and the UK.

 

CT Automotive's operating model enables it to pursue a price leadership
strategy, supplying high quality parts to customers at a lower overall landed
cost than competitors. This has helped the Group build a high-quality roster
of OEM end customers, both directly and via Tier One suppliers including
Faurecia and Marelli. End customers include volume manufacturers, such as
Nissan, and luxury car brands such as Bentley and Lamborghini. In addition,
the Group supplies electric car manufacturers, including Lucid. It has also
recently started working with e.Go Mobile, a German manufacturer which plans
to launch a series of small electric vehicles for the budget end of the
market.

 

The Group currently supplies component part types to over 47 different models
for 19 OEMs. Since its formation, the Group has been the only significant new
entrant into the market, which is characterised by high barriers to entry.
