3 The cutting edge of technology in the front-end market. OUR TASK Car manufacturing is a complex process and development resources are at a premium. That s why so many companies rely on the know-how of specialists like HBPO. Our long experience in producing integrated front-end modules is the reason why we are in a unique position to offer overall solutions, from design and development right through to assembly and logistics. In fact, we are constantly upgrading the standards in all these areas to the benefit of our customers. 3

4 Progress for more complex models. OUR CLAIM It is our task to create the face of the car design and manufacturing at its best. Depending on complexity and degree of integration, the headlamps, the front grille and the bumper cover are the visible parts of the front-end module. However, there are more components in the background which complete the front-end module. The most important are front-end carrier, crash management system, active grille shutter, sensors, air guide system, pedestrian protection elements and cooling components. When developing and designing the front-end modules, we of course pay attention to minimising the weight of the overall system. This reduces fuel consumption and also less CO 2 is released. For this, in the development process, we are constantly testing new materials, such as for example recyclable plastics or modern lightweight structures. This allows us to regularly contribute to environmental progress in the production of front-end modules. We rely on sustainability in development, production and also in management. We are efficient throughout the entire value chain and manage timelines, capacities, costs and quality precisely. We are next to our customers with our modules exactly when they are needed, Just-in-Sequence. 4

Safety considerations and technical functions are equally important. The whole module is a complex piece of equipment, engineered to meet all sorts of specifications. We are already working on a sustainable solution to achieve a significant CO 2 reduction by 2021: the active grille shutter. It is an option that car manufactures can integrate in a HBPO front-end module. 6

11 From idea to innovation. OUR RESEARCH Anyone engaged in research knows that you need courage to implement new ideas and this is what HBPO has done with its ambitious new project called Integrative Front-End Philosophy, or IFP for short. The result is spectacular fewer components with even more functions, as well as greater flexibility in design solutions plus a large number of exciting innovations. IFP1 has recently been superseded by IFP2, with many solutions already incorporated in cars on the road. HBPO is a world leader in integrated front-end modules and a pioneer in the use of lightweight construction and active grille shutter control. Our development process is cyclical and we conduct a multitude of tests to ensure the durability and efficiency of our products. 11

12 Competence at every level from start to finish. OUR PROJECT MANAGEMENT The development of highly complex front-ends with often more than 60 individual components requires the most rigorous project management, so all our products are coordinated with customer requirements at every stage from the initial concept through construction to assembly and final system integration. And the more we re involved in the process of optimisation, cost reduction and quality control, the greater the benefit is to our customers. 12

15 What you want is what you get. OUR CUSTOMERS We re justly proud of the levels of confidence and trust that we ve built up with our customers because it shows that we deliver exactly what they want. Over the years HBPO has developed close links to a large number of car manufacturers and it s this constant interchange of ideas and refinements to each individual project that has led to such successful outcomes. Communication at all levels is our tried and tested method for supplying customers with a front-end module that exactly matches their requirements. And it works. 15

16 Only the best is good enough. OUR SKILLS In the highly complex business of car manufacture development resources are at a premium. That s why so many companies have taken advantage of the technological know-how of module specialists like HBPO. We ve become a world leader in producing comprehensive solutions for the front-end. Whether we re talking about design or development, assembly or logistics our products are second to none. Since then we have constantly developed our potential in setting the benchmark for front-end solutions. And that, quite definitely, is where our future lies. > 2,300 employees 18 customers 26 years EXPERIENCE sites Figures from October
