Amerigon is the largest supplier of TE systems for cars, with more than 4.5 million thermoelectric-based seat systems sold.
The Amerigon heated and ventilated seat system combines passive cooling or ventilation with active heating. For cooler environments or more economical vehicle lines, a ventilated seat may be a viable solution, bringing ambient cabin air to the surface instead of the "cooled" air produced by the thermoelectric. In the cooling mode, the heater is turned off and the fan provides ambient cabin air to the seat surface. Amerigon's heated and ventilated seat system fits within the same envelope as the active CCS system, so multiple Amerigon applications can be installed within or across various vehicle platforms.
In 1985, Classic Soft Trim (CST) pioneered the aftermarket leather interior industry providing leather packages where limited or no factory leather was available. Since then CST has become the world's leading aftermarket provider of leather-trimmed interiors. In 1996, CST broadened its capabilities to include sunroof installations and is now the nation's leading aftermarket installer of sunroofs. Along with leather-trimmed interiors and sunroofs, Classic Soft Trim also carries other products such as OEM style navigations and video systems, Bluetooth hands free systems, molded dash treatments with complementing steering wheels, and safety packages that include backup sensors and reverse cameras.
Amerigon develops products based on its advanced, proprietary, efficient thermoelectric (TE) technologies for a wide range of global markets and heating and cooling applications. The Company's current principal product is its proprietary Climate Control Seat(R) (CCS(R)) system, a solid-state, TE-based system that permits drivers and passengers of vehicles to individually and actively control the heating and cooling of their respective seats to ensure maximum year-round comfort. CCS, which is the only system of its type on the market today, uses no CFCs or other environmentally sensitive coolants. Amerigon maintains sales and technical support centers in Southern California, Detroit, Japan, Germany, England and Korea.
