Consumer products are those products that are purchased for personal use. Hero cables are durable due to their high quality copper used for manufacturing the wire. Hero offers a reasonable price, good quality. And most of the advertisement is done through print media, telemarketing, and personal contact.

  • 25 Years of Convertible Roof Systems from Webasto
    25 Years of Convertible Roof Systems from Webasto World market leader for soft tops and retractable hardtops Stockdorf / Munich – September 13, 2011 – Modern convertibles are the better sedans: safe and comfortable – and, at the touch of a button, with a feel-good effect when the roof opens to let air and sunlight stream into your car. For 25 years, Webasto has been manufacturing convertible roof systems for virtually every major international automobile manufacturer; today, with a worldwide market share of 40 percent market, it is the market leader in soft tops and retractable hardtops (RHTs). In 1986, production of the first convertible roof in the company’s history started with a soft top for the BMW 3 Series convertible. By 2004, over a million convertible roofs had been made. And the two-million mark will be topped in the jubilee year of 2011. Since 1986, Webasto has equipped more than 45 vehicle models with convertible roofs. These include some real “eye catchers”, such as the Ferrari California, whose two-piece retractable hardtop is currently much admired in the super sports car class, which traditionally “wears” soft tops. Webasto manufactures the largest soft top in the world for the Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe. Its width: 2.80 meters. Among RHTs, the roof system of the VW Eos is a technical masterpiece: a sliding glass sunroof is integrated in the five-piece folding steel roof. And the most popular roadster with RHT is the BMW Z4. The convertible market is growing – worldwide Cruising under the open sky: a pleasure that more than 1.7 million convertible owners in Germany alone treat themselves today.

  • 10 06 2008 Webasto Ferrari California Dach ENG PM37
    Ferrari California with Webasto Roof First premium sports convertible with a retractable hardtop (RHT) – The perfect consummation of form with lightweight construction, sleek kinematics, and new hydraulic technology Stockdorf/Munich – October 6, 2008 – The new Ferrari California is presented with a convertible roof of Webasto. The multi-faceted premium sports convertible was premiered in Germany at this year’s Ferrari Racing Days 2008 at the Nürburgring (October 3 to 5) – and is the first of its kind to have a retractable hardtop (RHT). Ferrari commissioned Webasto with the 2-piece roof system in 2006. Highlights of the roof, which can open in 14 seconds, include the use of proportional valve technology in the hydraulics, a sleek kinematics concept in order to optimize trunk volume, and a large number of aluminum structural components that Webasto used to deliberately follow through on the lightweight trend. Technical highlights in detail The roof shell, for instance, is constructed completely of aluminum. Further aluminum components include the main pivot brackets, cross members, frame, and the kinematics of the tonneau cover. An additional novelty is the use of proportional valve technology in the hydraulic system, which allows for adjustable flow control. Consequentially, the C- segment and the tonneau cover can be opened simultaneously, providing a perfectly coordinated and therefore quicker opening process for the entire roof system. The result: an opening and closing cycle lasting just 14 seconds. In addition, Webasto developed the first two-piece RHT with equal-shaped stowage in the trunk. The main advantage of this storage method is that it helps create a more sleek elegant design contour than with the classic lens-shaped fold.

  • Webasto-Edscha: Three-Piece Retractable Hardtop for the BMW 4 Series Convertible
    Webasto-Edscha: Three-piece retractable hardtop for the BMW 4 Series convertible The fifth generation of the successful BMW convertible is also fitted with a convertible roof system from Webasto-Edscha. Hengersberg/Regensburg, May 5, 2014 – Webasto-Edscha, the convertible business unit of Webasto, develops and manufactures the roof system for the BMW 4 Series convertible which was officially launched on 8 March. Just like its predecessor, this new convertible is also fitted with a three-piece roof system of lightweight sheet steel design. More trunk space thanks to new hydraulics At the touch of a button the convertible roof stows away in the trunk within 23 seconds. This is possible at speeds of up to 18 km/h. Webasto-Edscha’s development technicians have designed a new hydraulic variant for the successor model to the BMW 3 Series convertible. The result is a noticeable space saving when the convertible roof is in the stowed position. This space saving installation has allowed a generous through-loading space to be achieved. If required, the car’s owner can thus significantly expand the trunk volume containing 370 liters with the roof closed and 220 liters with the roof open. A simple and handy storage compartment directly behind the rear seat was created for the wind break: An innovation also made possible by the space saving hydraulic system. A hydraulically-powered loading aid integrated into the trunk lid ensures convenient and easy loading of luggage. At the press of a button, the roof stowed in the trunk, raises upwards fully automatically, allowing the luggage space to be conveniently loaded.
