About SMP
Samvardhana Motherson Peguform (SMP) develops and manufactures high-quality interior and exterior modules for global automotive OEMs and has been part of the Samvardhana Motherson Group since 2011. The product portfolio includes cockpit systems, centre consoles, door panels and leather surfaces in the interior as well as bumpers, front grilles, spoilers and decorative body components in the exterior. The manufacturing base comprises injection moulding, slush moulding, natural fibre compression moulding and thermoforming with in-mould graining, complemented by painting, laminating, polyurethane foaming, welding and cutting technologies as well as invisible airbag seams. As a full-service supplier, SMP covers the entire product life cycle, from concept development, design and simulation through toolmaking, material management and logistics to assembly and functional testing. With production and development centres in Europe, North America, South America and Asia, SMP supplies OEMs such as Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Ford, Tata and Caterpillar. Customers also include Maruti Suzuki.

Materials & Processes
TPO
Thermoplastic olefin films for vacuum pre-forming with back and front foaming in the interior.
TPO2
Advanced TPO film for thermoforming and in-mould graining with precise surface textures.
Polyurethane
Back and front foaming gives components soft, soft-touch surfaces.
Thermoplastics (slush skins)
For high-quality slush skins with leather-like textures and two-tone variants.
Natural fibres (needle felt)
Pressed in a single step into lightweight interior components such as door panels, armrests and boot linings.
Leather
For leather surfaces and soft-surface solutions in the premium interior.
