Italian SINTEC is starting a worldwide communication campaign to raise awareness about the SeatBridge solution, which has been granted the Italian Patent N. 102016000060616 and is expected to complete the European patenting process in late 2019.

SeatBridge offers an effective solution to the issues that characterize the conventional seat mounting system, in which seats are connected to the floor through a pair of rails.

Consisting of a bridge-shaped structure that raises the position of the rails and frees up the space underneath, and can integrate the center tunnel into a single module, the SeatBridge solution can be fully adopted in any production line with additional benefits in terms of process simplification.

At the moment SINTEC is the sole owner of the exclusive rights to produce, use, market, sell or import on the Italian national territory.

In order to turn this concept into a production reality that could benefit the entire automotive industry and car passengers from all over the world, SINTEC is advancing the negotiations currently in place as well as looking for new companies and organizations willing to incorporate this solution into their production lines or to invest for reserving exclusive rights for licensing once the solution is implemented - which in SINTEC's point of view will happen in the next future due to the objective advantages it brings.

SINTEC founder Claudio Buccini commented "The current standard seat mounting solution has reached a high level of standardization but has not progressed in decades and still suffers from the same problems: it leaves little space for rear passengers' legs and feet, and with its cluttered, primitive look, it detracts from the elegance and design of any car interior - even on luxury vehicles."

"For this reason, and also due to the revolution that electric cars will bring in terms of platform architecture, it's only a matter of time until the SeatBridge solution is widely implemented."

"SINTEC already owns exclusive rights for Italy and will soon be granted the European patent. We are actively speaking with several companies to move to the production phase, because we believe this will solution ultimately benefit not only car passengers, but also car manufacturers and suppliers.”

"Today there is an opportunity for those companies that are willing to invest for either developing the technology or ensure licensing rights for the future. Negotiations are in place but as it happens in these cases it's likely to be a first-come, first-serve deal: that is why our message for this communication campaign is “...if you don’t choose SeatBridge...someone else will do it !”"
