SFC SOLUTIONS - Key Persons

The footprint of SFC Solutions in India spans seven locations in the country where it has high-tech manufacturing facilities. The company continues to build on its reputation as a trusted supplier of top-quality sealing solutions and fluid transfer systems for the automotive industry.

In 2009, the production of gaskets started in the Tangier Free Zone in Tangier, in the far north of Morocco, to supply customers in the Iberian Peninsula and to support our customer Renault, which is building its new factory there.

Borja is located in the northeast of Spain. Within the past 25 years, the plant has evolved changing its owner three times. It was established in 1996 by Allied Signal, an American industrial company that focused on seat belts and pre-tensioners. In 2001 the Group Mondragon, one of the most renown Spanish industrial groups, overtook the management and expanded the capabilities (extrusion and autoclaves) and product catalogue. In 2007 CooperStandard took control and helped develop the company further by integrating it into an international organisation. The successful acquisition of this plant by Mutares SE & Co. KGaA took place on 1 July 2020. Borja hosts 140 employees and produces degas and cooling system hoses. 4 million hoses will be sold in 2020 to the automotive sector, serving customers, such as PSA Group, Renault and Daimler, across Europe and Morocco. 80% of the cars built in Spain (2nd manufacturer in Europe and 9th Worldwide, 2019) can be found within 300 kms of the factory. The automatic extrusion line is capable of producing mono and bilayer hoses. The three autoclaves can vulcanize and form rubber and plastic (EPDM, TP and TPV). The flexibility of the autoclave technology allows Borja SFC Solutions to treat different materials in the same unit. The final assembly of products concludes with four overmoulding machines. The last robot was successfully implemented in 2019 and doubled the capacity of the production cell.
