CargoTUF(TM) and CargoSMART(TM) Cargo Management Products Offer Significantly Lower Weight and Increased Value
DETROIT, Jan. 25 / / -- 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."
