Group Services
- Materials Manufacturing: The Autin Group is heavily involved in manufacturing of its core products in manufacturing units set across United Kingdom, Germany and Sweden. Key products manufactured by the company include Neptune, a range of multilayer products, foam-based products amongst others and can be deep dived into in the next segment. The products manufactured are specially formulated and bespoke.
- Conversion and Assembly: The process involves multiple procedure starting with the cutting via a simple die cut bladed tool. Then comes the sealing, which is done using heat sealing machines where the heat is produced from the machine top. Conversion and Assembly process also involves Press Molding. Autin has its own molding presses that are equipped to thermally create 3D parts. Waterjet and Vac Molding helps in slicing a wide variety of materials using jets with extremely high intensity of pressure.
- Prototyping: Offering design creation by using hand-made prototypes, CNC cutting, or basic aluminum tooling is one of the main pillars of Autins. 25 years of rich experience, knowledge and skill is used to create the handmade prototypes.
- Materials Testing: The material testing center for Autinâs was created in the year 2016, and can deliver testing features including Thermal testing, environmental testing, compression testing, glow wire testing, testing for thermal conductivity and Automotive flammability. The testing capabilities also include tear, tensile and peel strength.
- Services also include Design, Program Management and Research and Development.
Group Products
- Neptune: Neptune is an acoustic absorption product that is manufactured from high-grade acoustic material with excellent thermal properties. Manufactured in the UK, Neptuneâs non-woven and microfiber material targets at a range of automotive applications. The product has three structural layers- microfiber web, polypropylene and the finished component. These components make gives Neptune high sound absorption property with low frequency absorption.
- Multilayer: Targeted at customized acoustic applications, these multi-layer products are result of extensive research and development. The product combines different materials to achieve a acoustic target with suitable aesthetic appeal to make it suitable for a particular environment. The product has a combination of the Autins Neptune that makes it lighter than the other products available in the market.
- Light Foam: Manufactured in Sweden, it is a semi-rigid, low density foam made of polyurethane. This product is suitable for low density acoustics, maintaining a low flame response. The light foam is used for thermoforming in the automotive industry, manufactured through reactive process and are supplied in block form or sliced into sheets to cover the exterior of the vehicle and the engine bay.
- Heavy Layer: Procured from the largest UK manufacturers, Autins sources its mass-based acoustic insulation from the best manufacturers of vibration damping materials and acoustic barriers. After the procurement, the product is further die and vacuum formed in their UK facilities. The product is crucial in the automotive environment (between the 2kg to 6kg).
- Foams: Autin offers different foam products, the joint venture of Autins and Indica Industries joint together creates a wide supplier base. The foams are applicable in vast automotive applications including the open and closed-cell products suitable for a variety of applications. Along with foam they also offer EPDM rubber, polyurethane, EPDM rubber, Polyethylene and expanded polypropylene.
- Fleeces: The non-woven fleece material is sourced from Autinâs high-end supply chain; the material is further used in acoustic and thermal components. The 200 gsm to 2000 gsm ranged thermally bonded and needle-punched nonwovens are customized according to the customersâ need.
- DecibeX: Autinâs premium range of underlay products are developed to improve the acoustic and reduce the noise. The product is applicable with modern flooring materials with poor sound characteristics (LVT. laminates, parquet and vinyl and LVT flooring). The product is also useful in creating a quiet environment in a room made of wood flooring.
