Notes to editors

CT Automotive is engaged in the design, development and manufacture of bespoke automotive interior finishes (for example dashboard panels and fascia finishes) and kinematic assemblies (for example air registers, arm rests, deployable cup holders and storage systems), as well as their associated tooling, for the world's leading automotive original equipment suppliers ("OEMs") and global Tier One manufacturers.

The Company is headquartered in the UK with a low-cost manufacturing footprint. Key production facilities are located in Shenzhen and Ganzhou, China complemented by additional manufacturing facilities in Turkey, the Czech Republic and the UK.

CT Automotive's operating model enables it to pursue a price leadership strategy, supplying high quality parts to customers at a lower overall landed cost than competitors. This has helped the Company build a high-quality roster of OEM end customers, both directly and via Tier One suppliers including Faurecia and Marelli. End customers include volume manufacturers, such as Nissan, and luxury car brands such as Bentley and Lamborghini. In addition, the Group supplies electric car manufacturers, including Lucid. It has also recently started working with e.Go Mobile, a German manufacturer which plans to launch a series of small electric vehicles for the budget end of the market.

The Company currently supplies component part types to over 45 different models for 17 OEMs and delivered over four million systems in the 12 months to 31 December 2020. Since its formation, the Company has been the only significant new entrant into the market, which is characterised by high barriers to entry.
