SECURITY PARTS & DECORATIVE PARTS

World leader in airbag covers, Safe Demo specializes in components and sub-assemblies for the safety, comfort and personalization of the passenger compartment, in particular trim and decorative parts, as well as precision technical parts. The innovation in materials and the precision of assembly of Safe Demo products guarantee consumers an exceptional level of safety and finish.

AIRBAG

FLAWLESS RELIABILITY

World number one in this market, Safe Demo has built this position since 1991 with the conviction that excellence in reliability could be accompanied by high esthetic requirements while respecting economic constraints.

Aware that these parts save lives, Safe Demo is first committed to constant mechanical characteristics whatever the conditions of use, in particular the temperature inside the passenger compartment. Safe Demo draws on this experience accumulated in thirty years of high-tech development in driver and passenger airbag covers to develop the growing sector of side, curtain and knee airbag covers and components.

Successive developments in production technologies have enabled Safe Demo to guarantee the same level of quality for the personalization and finishing of esthetic and comfort parts while passing on the cost-saving benefits to its clients.

DECORATIVE PARTS

A MARKER OF QUALITY

Safe Demo masters all interior decorative processes.

In each of its factories, Safe Demo has proven decorative technologies for esthetic and interior parts: water-based and solvent-based paints, single-coat, two-coat and tri-coat paints, mat and high-gloss finishes, PVD metallization by sputtering; all using automated lines that guarantee the robustness of our solutions. We complement our offer by using laser scraping, pad printing or hot stamping technologies.

PVD technology combined with laser scraping opens up possibilities for illuminating the passenger compartment.

The combination of bi-injection with insert overmolding, or flat and monolayer screen-printed films also allows it to offer high-performance solutions for the production of backlit parts (buttons, heating facades, etc.) which are highly attractive.

Likewise, its expertise in overmolding technology (rotary mold processes or "in mold" transfer) enables Safe Demo to meet the passenger compartment customization requirements that manufacturers intend to offer their clients.

TECHNICAL PARTS

MEETING THE MOST STRINGENT REQUIREMENTS

Safe Demo is at the heart of the automotive industry with highly demanded technical passenger compartment parts.

Widely used (seat belt components, door locks, etc.), these parts must meet stringent requirements in terms of precision and mechanical characteristics in a wide range of operating conditions.

Safe Demo shapes them in materials such as ABS, POM and PA to produce precision components intended for all OEMs and car manufacturers.

Thanks to a first-class machine park, combined with the development of high-speed multi-cavity tools and recognized know-how for over 40 years, Safe Demo delivers high-quality products in medium and large series to its clients.
