Techtextil 2026: Automotive Solutions that set standards
In modern automotive concepts, the interior plays a central role – functionality, safety, and design must be seamlessly integrated. Freudenberg Performance Materials develops innovative automotive textile solutions that combine technological performance with a high degree of application orientation.
Hall 11.0, Booth A11, Frankfurt am Main, Germany | April 21, 2026 - April 24, 2026
A particular focus is on luggage compartment cover systems, which are much more than just cover solutions. The technical textiles used by Freudenberg Performance Materials combine mechanical stability, durability, and functional safety and are specifically designed to meet the high demands of everyday automotive use. They reliably protect the cargo area, secure the transported goods, and at the same time contribute to the high-quality overall impression of the vehicle interior.
Aspects such as resilience, noise behavior, feel, and appearance are taken into account holistically. The result is textile solutions that can be flexibly integrated into different vehicle platforms and are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
With its in-depth understanding of materials and applications, Freudenberg Performance Materials supports automobile manufacturers and system suppliers in the early stages of development - from material selection and functional integration to near-series implementation. This results in cargo cover solutions that not only meet today's requirements but also actively shape future mobility concepts.
In addition to cargo cover solutions, other automotive products will be on display at Techtextil in April: new materials for car seats and acoustic solutions for the engine compartment and car interior. What's more, MehlerHeytex will be exhibiting its complete range of coated technical textiles at booth A11.
Seating – the perfect balance of comfort, design, and function
The textile seating solutions combine comfort, dimensional stability, and sustainability. The materials are specially tailored to modern seating systems and support both ergonomic requirements and sophisticated design concepts.
Acoustics – Peace and quiet you can feel
Acoustic solutions from Freudenberg make a decisive contribution to reduced noise levels and increased well-being in the interior. The textile materials combine high sound absorption with low weight and flexible integration into various components.
Freudenberg Performance Materials' automotive solutions exemplify an approach in which textiles become high-performance system components – for greater safety, comfort, and quality in vehicles.
