Ⅰ.Introduction

Safety and comfort are required of seats, important automotive components which influence the interior design of vehicles. The construction of the seat can be divided into three major parts: the basic skeleton/frame, the cushioning material, and the seat trim cover. In addition, these parts consists of parts such as the seat back frame (back rest), seat cushion frame, headrest, recliner, adjuster, and seat slide rails. The assembled product is referred to as the seat assembly (Assy) or complete seat. In the Japanese market, there are about 15 companies that manufacture and deliver seat assemblies, and there are many other suppliers of parts such as seat frames, cushioning materials, and trim cover materials.

This report provides an outline of each company describing their developments in the Japanese market, based on seat assemblies as finished products, while focusing on those models currently produced domestically in Japan (including some models that were manufactured until recently).
