Steve Brown, global director at ESI Automotive, said: “The automotive industry is at a turning point, not only with the steady rise of electric vehicles, but also with the high level of automation and the quality of interior / exterior trim that consumers have come to expect. ESI Automotive is already meeting these growing needs for next-generation automotive hardware, with a full line of cutting-edge solutions and unrivalled expertise — enabling us to pre-empt future designs with state-of-the-art integrated technology.”
Working closely with global businesses such as MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions and MacDermid Enthone Industrial Solutions, industry experts within ESI Automotive are able to offer a single information point to connect the global automotive industry with an extensive range of chemical and material solutions.
Furthermore, through collaboration with automotive OEMs and Tier 1s, the new division will work closely with the supply chain in order to meet growing industry challenges in reliability, form factor and performance.
