Customers include many of the leading car manufacturers, such as Ford, Toyota, GM, Renault-Nissan, PSA, VW and BMW. Novares continues to maintain its market-leading position by investing significantly in research and development at its twelve technical centres.

Novares has demonstrated strong ESG initiatives by adhering to the United Nations Global Compact. Its production process uses recycled materials derived from automotive waste, it also complies with the European directive on end-of-life vehicles and its products contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions.
