Our business
Grupo Antolin continued to reinforce its position during 2020 as one of the world leaders in the manufacture of components for the vehicle interior, demonstrating that it has a solid and resilient business that has allowed it to deal with the challenging environment. The company’s sales for the financial year as a whole amounted to €3,975 million, with a wide diversification by country and customer.
Business units
Overheads
The Overheads Business Unit, which achieved revenue of €1,478 million (37% of the company’s total), worked closely with customers to support them in the launch of either models established in the market with significant sales, such as the new Ford F-150, the best-selling vehicle in North America, the Land Rover Defender and the Volkswagen Golf in Europe; or in new projects, such as the Vinfast projects in Vietnam.
Cockpit & Doors
During 2020, the Doors and Instrument Panels Business Units came together under the same Department, which has been called Cockpits & Doors. Its purpose is seeking operational synergies and better managing resources when attracting new businesses, developing products and managing projects, always looking toward the medium and long-term.
Lighting & HMI
The Lighting Business Unit changed its name to include HMI (Human Machine Interface), to reflect the new strategic reorientation that turns interior components into an interface, allowing the passenger to interact with the vehicle and their surroundings thanks to systems that combine lighting with electronics and decorative surfaces.
Electronic Systems
As one of the major milestones in the execution of the strategy in 2020, the company created the new Electronic Systems Business Unit, with the aim of globally strengthening its capabilities in advanced electronics. The recently created team in this Unit, which includes leading professionals, worked throughout the year to define the portfolio of purely electronic products and support the other departments in new integrated solutions with more technological components.
Regions
Asia
The company’s business in Asia overcame the initial impact of the COVID-19 crisis, ending with sales of €507 million thanks to the recovery of the Chinese and Korean markets.
North America
In order to improve customer service, the company expanded its industrial presence in the region with the start-up of the new plant in Cuautitlan (Mexico), which will supply components for Ford’s new electric model.
Europe
Thanks to the great commercial work of the teams, important projects were won on the continent, ensuring that Grupo Antolin continues to be a key partner for manufacturers for the interior of their future models, including the new models with electric technology.
