Norway based Kongsberg Automotive has signed a €50m strategic supplier agreement for its seat comfort solutions with an unnamed North American vehicle manufacturer.
Under the six year contract, Kongsberg will supply a range of pneumatic seat comfort products from lumbar support systems along with complete massage and cushion length adjust systems to the automaker.
The company will start the production at its factories in Reynosa, Mexico; Pruszkow, Poland and Wuxi, China in 2018.
The deal has also given Kongsberg Automotive the preferred supplier status for all the programs with this OEM that requires the types of seat supplied by the company.
Kongsberg Automotive's Interior business Sales and Marketing vice president Hans Jorgen Morland said: "This agreement builds on our recent successes across Europe and shows that our global development strategy in pneumatic systems works in all regions.
"This is our first agreement with this key strategic customer and is another fine example of how our teams work together across the globe to secure great global business."
"We will continue to build on this success as this OEM also controls sourcing of other KA comfort products."
