Easy, smart, sustainable – repositionable and reclosable fastening technology

23 Jun 2026
Tuesday, June 23 - afternoon session
In automotive interiors, modern hook-and-loop fastening technologies offer a smart and sustainable alternative to conventional mechanical and adhesive fixations. They enable clean, flexible solutions for applications such as headliner and floor mat fixations, providing reliable hold while allowing easy repositioning or replacement without tools. Their invisible integration supports sleek interior design while enhancing assembly efficiency and recyclability potential. Looking ahead, future generations of reclosable fastening systems may incorporate embedded sensing capabilities that digitally confirm correct installation and functional performance. Such intelligent feedback mechanisms could improve quality assurance, support predictive maintenance and further strengthen user confidence.
