What automated flocking adds to interior surfaces

Flocking turns an ordinary plastic part into a surface that looks refined and feels considered. For carmakers chasing a premium cabin experience, it is one of the most cost effective ways to lift perceived quality. Here is what our fully automated flocking lines bring to your interior components.

A premium feel, engineered in

Flocking applies millions of short fibres onto an adhesive coated surface, creating a dense, velvet like finish. The result is a soft touch feel that signals quality the moment a customer opens a glove box or runs a hand along a console.

Because the effect is built into the part rather than added as a separate trim piece, it removes assembly steps, reduces part count and keeps tolerances tight across the full vehicle lifecycle.

Quiet cabins, fewer rattles

A flocked surface is also a functional one. The fibre layer cushions contact points between moving components, suppressing the squeaks and rattles that erode the impression of a well built interior.

Storage compartments, sliding lids and channel guides all benefit. The cabin stays quiet, and warranty claims tied to interior noise drop accordingly.

Automation that protects consistency

Manual flocking is hard to repeat at scale. Our automated lines control fibre density, adhesive thickness and curing conditions on every part, so the thousandth piece matches the first.

That repeatability is what lets us hold OEM appearance standards across high volume programmes while keeping scrap and rework low.

THE TAKEAWAY

If you want a cabin that looks premium, feels refined and stays quiet for years, automated flocking is a proven route. Explore our dedicated flocking campaign to see how we can apply it to your next interior programme.
