Faurecia invests in Alsentis to reinforce its technology ecosystem for smart surfaces
Alsentis is specialized in capacitive sensor technology and HMI allowing a unique and highly reliable haptic experience incorporating new materials and complex geometries. Alsentis solutions are already in production for the automotive industry.
Combined with our recent investments in Canatu and Tactotek*, we have now completed a unique ecosystem enabling us to master the full smart surfaces value chain. By integrating different technologies, we are now capable of creating a new HMI experience in vehicle interiors.
We are very excited to be partnering with Faurecia as we explore this next phase of smart and connected cars. We will work together to unlock the potential for HMI in automobiles.
The investment in Alsentis was made through Faurecia Ventures. Its mission is to complement Faurecia’s innovation strategy by identifying, incubating, and investing in early stage innovations to create long term value and strategic advantage for Faurecia. Focused investment themes cover both Smart Life on Board and Sustainable Mobility.
