Since 2000, SNECI is providing Business Development & Project Management assistance to ZENDA. In fact, SNECI has helped the supplier to identify and adapt to the needs of OEMs in order to win new businesses. We are proud to announce that ZENDA has been recently nominated with its partner SNECI to supply leather parts for the production of two new SUVs by PSA Group (DS & Citroën brands).

“This nomination shows the trust of PSA Group in the cooperation between ZENDA and SNECI. This confidence is the result of the excellent work on quality and product development realized together with PSA engineering team“, according to Hervé Champion, SNECI’s Business Development Director. “Leather is a very particular business within the automotive industry with even higher requirements than usual as it is mostly used for premium segments. We are particularly proud to have won this business that will ensure a bright future of ZENDA within the supplier panel of PSA Group”.
