“Receiving the Golden Scale Award underscores Cooper Standard’s strong commitment to innovation and customer partnership in the Chinese market, which remains a key area of growth for our Company,” said Patrick Clark, president, sealing systems and chief manufacturing officer, Cooper Standard. “This recognition reflects our team’s advanced capabilities in sealing system design and development, while also reinforcing the strong relationships we continue to build with our global customers and industry partners.”<\/p>\n

\n FlexiCore\u00a0Body\u00a0Seal<\/a> is a lightweight, 100% thermoplastic alternative to traditional rubber vehicle body seals which typically contain heavier metal carrier components. Delivering up to 44% weight reduction, FlexiCore technology can help improve vehicle efficiency while maintaining the same durability and performance qualities of conventional sealing systems. The innovative technology is fully recyclable and has the potential to reduce automotive assembly time, providing both environmental and manufacturing benefits for customers.<\/p>\n

The Golden Scale Award is the latest in a series of industry recognitions for the FlexiCore technology. It earned a 2026 Environment+Energy Leader Award for Innovation in Sustainability, was recognized as a finalist for the 2024 Automotive News<\/i> PACE Pilot Award and received the 2024 SPE Automotive Innovation Award. Earlier this year, FlexiCore was launched into production with a global automotive manufacturer, marking a significant milestone in the commercialization and market adoption of the solution.<\/p>\n
