ITG make airbags for Ferrari and Dacia in Sighisoara

Airbag producer ITG Automotive Safety Ro, the former ASCI (Automotive Safety Components International Ro), based in Sighisoara, delivered around 10,000 airbags last year to the Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari, and provided a large part of the airbag supplies necessary for the Dacia Logan model, which are assembled in the Mioveni-based plant. “The Logan’s airbags are manufactured in Sighisoara. Last year, we delivered 50,000 airbags, and, in 2008, along with the production increase, I estimate there will be 100,000 units delivered. At the same time, we are producing for European manufacturers, such as Ferrari, to which we delivered 10,000 airbags last year, to BMW, Opel, Fiat, and Seat,” said Harald Gitschner, general manager of ITG Automotive Safety Ro. The ITG Group (International Textile Group) has recently completed the takeover of American-based ASCI, the owner of the airbag production facility in Sighisoara.
