Innovation Centre for Prototypes and Projects

Validated Lightweight Solutions for Automotive and Mobility Applications

JSP is a global engineering partner specialising in advanced lightweight foam technologies for automotive and mobility applications. At our Innovation Centre for Prototypes and Projects, we translate defined performance requirements into validated component solutions engineered for real-world conditions. Our approach is structured, data-driven, and aligned with OEM and Tier supplier development frameworks, supporting programmes from early concept definition through to industrialisation.

From Concept Definition to Production Readiness

We support development programmes across the full engineering lifecycle:


- Concept definition and feasibility studies


- Digital simulation and performance modelling


- Material selection and optimisation


- Prototype manufacture, ready for testing and validation


- Design verification and validation support


- Industrialisation and production readiness


Our teams work in parallel across engineering, tooling, and process development functions to reduce technical risk, accelerate validation cycles, and ensure repeatability at scale.

Advanced Foam Technologies for Demanding Applications

Using ARPRO expanded polypropylene (EPP) and ARPLANK engineered foam technologies, we develop high-performance components for:


- Structural load management


- Impact energy absorption and crash performance


- Acoustic insulation and vibration dampening


- Thermal management and insulation systems


Both ARPRO and ARPLANK are engineered for lightweight design optimisation, long service life, and full recyclability, supporting OEM performance and sustainability objectives.

Engineering Integration and Validation Confidence

Our integrated competence combines:


- Polymer and material science


- Tooling design and moulding optimisation


- Process simulation and digital validation


- Industrial scalability assessment


By aligning material behaviour with application-specific load cases and environmental conditions, we improve component robustness while reducing rework, late-stage modifications, and validation iterations.


This integrated model enables predictable performance outcomes, supports regulatory compliance, and contributes to lifecycle carbon reduction targets through lightweight optimisation and material circularity.
