Trèves TSC gets new name Tesca
February 12, 2018 - France
Trèves TSC group, an automotive textiles and seat components expert, has renamed itself as Tesca. Driven by new shareholders who invested in 2016, the group has unveiled its new strategy for design and manufacture of automotive interiors. The new name “Tesca” illustrates the group’s embarking on a new strategy to accelerate its internal and external growth.
“Along with the name Tesca, we are announcing our values and goals: creativity, innovation and worldwide presence dedicated to the automotive industry. As a privately owned, medium-sized company among the large automotive system suppliers, we focus on providing a premium level of service. With our 2,800 employees, we generate more than 200 million euros in sales, and are planning to double by 2025,” explains Tesca CEO Carl de Freitas.
Tesca is announcing a new research and development centre, with a brand-new building located near Reims France, east of Paris, which will boost the development of innovative seat components with over fifty people, mostly engineers.
The research centre has a prototyping unit that serves for short-cycle development for car manufacturers. “We have other research and development branches in Wolfsburg, Barcelona, Wuhan, Detroit and Mumbai, for greater proximity to our customers, but the teams are guided from France. With this new centre, linked to our design office in Paris, our teams are focusing on our ‘Challenge Creativity’ hallmark,” adds de Freitas.
In December 2017, the group established a foothold in North America through the acquisition of Custom Manufacturing and Assembly. This buyout expanded the group’s geographic scope by bringing in two new sites - an office in Greenville, South Carolina and a research and production centre in the Detroit suburbs - providing support to the American car manufacturers and to the group’s long-standing customers for their US operations.
With its various geographical locations, Tesca is able to produce all over the world, including in Europe, Brazil, Russia, India, United States, North Africa and China. (SV)
