The History of TS TECH
TS TECH has been developing and producing automotive interior components for over 60 years since the company was established in 1960.
We have continued to grow by leveraging the strength of our technologies and know-how cultivated over many years and our global network spanning 13 countries, supplying a variety of products, mainly automobile seats and door trims.
Major product lines
The seats for the original Honda Civic could be considered the starting point for TS TECH’s manufacture of automobile seats. There were frequent issues such as tearing of seams in the outer upholstery and deformation of seat frames when sat on by people with very large physiques, as they were designed with Japanese people only in mind at the time. The system we established at that time to facilitate the immediate sharing of quality issues among departments and quick improvements is still in place today. We have turned this rough start into a legacy of a strong commitment to the perfection of quality.
TS TECH continues to pursue comfortable seats that prevent fatigue by translating subjective judgments of comfort and fatigue, which vary by person, into quantifiable figures and conducting repeated research based on ergonomics. This approach is reflected in our unique theory of a comfortable posture.
- The first use of a mechanism seat made it possible for smaller drivers to adjust to a more comfortable driving position.
- The seat bottom tilts upward as the backrest is lowered to close in on the perfect posture for maximum comfort.
As business has expanded, we have been severely impacted by changes in the external environment, including a global financial crisis and natural disasters in different countries.
TS TECH has streamlined development and manufacturing through production line automation and other technologies. This has enabled our company to withstand external changes, laying the foundation for the current highly profitable structure of the TS TECH Group.
As the automotive industry enters a period of major transformation, the functions and value demanded of automobiles are also undergoing great change. Against this backdrop, TS TECH will not simply focus on developing seats and doors as single components but also aim to become an interior system supplier that can coordinate an entire automobile cabin space. We will work to create new value by leveraging corporate partnerships and joint development projects.
