OUR OBJECTIVE
Hutchinson is a leading global supplier in
smart solutions for comfort and safety in
automotive, aerospace and other industries.
We design and provide essentially vibration
control systems, fluid management systems, and
sealing solutions technologies with a special
focus on energy efficiency & effectiveness.
We drive innovation by a global systems
approach including design of new materials
(elastomers, thermoplastics, composites).
We drive innovation by a transversal knowledge
of our global activities.(ie: synergy between
aerospace and automotive dpt)
