News Release Toyota Boshoku’s Innovative Sports Seat Debuts in New Lexus IS Lineup Foam In Place Method enhances hold performance and design Kariya (Japan) May 23, 2013 – Toyota Boshoku Corporation (Tokyo: 3116, President, Shuhei Toyoda) is pleased to announce that its innovative sports seat will debut in the sports version of the redesigned Lexus IS lineup, “F SPORT”. This seat was specially designed with Lexus in mind to achieve enhanced ride comfort and high-quality design to suit the sporty Lexus model. The new sports seat conforms to the contours of the body and ensures a comfortable fit to protect the shoulders and torso from gravitational pull during cornering. Moreover, the seat is slimmer achieving a more sophisticated and sleek design that enhances the high-grade sporty atmosphere. The seat is created utilizing the “Foam In Place Method” where urethane is directly injected into seat covers that have been placed inside metal molds and then the foam sets to the intended shape. Compared to conventional methods of attaching seat covers to pre-formed foam, the Foam In Place Method creates shapes that are ideal for ensuring a comfortable ride and achieves high-quality design. Moreover, this method can be used with fabric, genuine leather and man-made material to create a wide variety of desired shapes. In its pursuit to provide a comfortable ride that makes the rider feel as if they are one with the car, Toyota Boshoku has developed sports seats that are installed in racecars and sports cars. Here on out Toyota Boshoku will continue to apply the knowledge it acquired through the development of sports seats to achieve pinnacle seat performance, and proactively provide appealing seat proposals to our customers around the world. -

Linamar Corporation Acquires New Springboard Into Europe July 7, 2008
Linamar Corporation Acquires New Springboard into Europe July 7, 2008 - Guelph, ON – Linamar Corporation announces its acquisition of new automotive manufacturing facility, former Visteon plant in Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom (UK). This facility is Linamar’s first foray into manufacturing operations in the UK, and is the sister plant of the Company’s recently acquired Power Transfer Units (PTU) business in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. “The facility in Wales offers Linamar deeper market share of our PTU business as well as increased critical mass and content per vehicle in Europe,” said Linamar’s chief executive officer, Linda Hasenfratz. “The location gives Linamar a new springboard into Europe; particularly for engine-related components and modules, given its engine-focused history.” The plan for the approximately 200,000 square-foot facility is to build the business by introducing new products such as camshafts, fly wheels and connecting rods. The scope of the business may expand to additional engine components. Linamar intends to make a substantial investment to modernize the plant and update production equipment to take the business forward. The acquisition includes the addition of 400 skilled employees to the Linamar family. The employees of the historically engine focused facility are the cornerstone of the investment. Swansea plant has a strong skilled workforce with a wide breadth of knowledge and experience in the manufacture of driveline and engine systems. “The Welsh Assembly Government has worked closely with the Linamar Corporation both in Canada and the UK in order to secure the long term future of the former Visteon Swansea facility,” said Ieuan Wyn Jones, Wale’s Minister for the Economy and Transport. -

11 Electric Vehicle Stocks to Buy for 2021
INVESTOR PLACE 11 ELECTRIC VEHICLE STOCKS TO BUY FOR 2021 LUKE LANGO How to turn the electric disruption of transportation into your million-dollar opportunity When it comes to identifying next-generation breakthrough investments that could rise 100%, 200%, 500%, or more, I always come back to one saying. Where there’s disruption, there’s opportunity. Case-in-point: The internet. Throughout the 1990s, the emergence of the internet rapidly disrupted how people across the globe worked, communicated, and played. For many, it was a scary time. Change is never easy. For many more, it was an exciting time, as the internet was unlocking a new world of possibilities. But… for investors… it was an opportunity. Specifically, it was a once-in-a-decade opportunity to invest early in emerging titans of the internet industry. Like Amazon (AMZN)… when it was a $438 million company in 1997… It’s a $1.6 TRILLION company today – representing a whopping 365,000% return. That means a mere $1,000 investment in Amazon in 1997 would be worth more than $3.6 million today. 2 Luke Lango’s Hypergrowth Investing Need I say more? Where there’s disruption, there’s opportunity – and the bigger the disruption, the bigger the opportunity. Right now, we are on the cusp of an enormous disruption. This disruption will fundamentally and entirely change the world’s multi-trillion-dollar transportation work. In its wake, it will create new hundred-billion-dollar titans of the auto industry – most of whom are just tiny companies today. What disruption am I talking about specifically? The shift toward electric vehicles. -
