DETROIT, Jan. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- The Woodbridge Group (R), a technology
leader in automotive seat comfort products and other interior components,
today announced two new product lines, CargoTUF(TM) structural load-floors
and CargoSMART(TM) storage systems. These innovative cargo management
products support and organize cargo, in today's multi-purpose, sport
utility and passenger vehicles, and offer increased value at significantly
lower weight.
CargoTUF(TM) structural load-floors are manufactured from a
proprietary, lightweight reinforced Polyurethane. They are designed and
engineered to deliver specific Load, Impact and Acoustic capabilities. As
global experts in urethane technologies, Woodbridge is positioned to custom
engineer material properties, to provide the right performance at the right
value, for each vehicle application. CargoTUF(TM) panels are typically
finished in matching carpet trim, to offer attractive yet tough cargo
management solutions.
CargoTUF(TM) products are manufactured with a high percentage of
BioFoam(TM) plant-based Polyurethane foams. This environmentally sensitive
technology is a key component of The Woodbridge Group's renewable resource
strategy. BioFoam(TM) plant-based polyurethanes offer today's highest
levels of green content, for each unique product performance category.
CargoSMART(TM) storage systems are manufactured from strong,
lightweight and water resistant, Expanded Polypropylene. They can be
designed to complement the load-floor and provide an integrated system that
optimizes form, function, weight and cost. Product applications include
storage bins, removable convenience trays and customized tool caddies.
CargoSMART(TM) products are ideal for capturing and organizing storage
space under the load-floor that often goes underutilized.
According to Charlie Burchi, Product Development Manager, "CargoTUF(TM)
structural load-floors are made from an innovative, environmentally viable,
polyurethane composite material, to deliver maximum performance and minimum
weight, at a competitive cost. In fact, we see weight savings of up to 40%,
benchmarked against rigid plastic and wood fiber competitive products.
Combining in-house design and engineering support, these products offer
sport utility and passenger vehicles, optimize all vehicle storage
potential and offer new levels of form and function. With consumers in
mind, CargoTUF(TM) and CargoSMART(TM) systems offer intelligent storage
solutions that provide outstanding function and utility."
