“Our challenge is to build on the legacy we have inherited and carry it forward into the future, establishing ourselves as a strong, profitable and relevant company, capable of supporting our customers with reliability and a personal touch”

Some years are remembered for what happens in them. Others, more exceptional ones, remain etched in our memory because of what they represent. For Antolin, 2025 undoubtedly falls into this second category.

Seventy-five years after that small family-run workshop in Burgos first opened its doors, we marked our anniversary with the scale and vision of a global industrial group, but also with the firm conviction that a true business venture is not measured solely by figures, but also by its ability to remain true to a way of doing things over time.

A small workshop, its beginnings

The Antolin story begins in a small workshop in Burgos, where the family developed the rubber-metal ball joint, an invention that quickly aroused the interest of Spanish and international manufacturers.

Into the car interior

The company started to explore new horizons and moved into the manufacture of interior components, marking the beginning of specialization.

Innovation and industrial expansion

Antolin consolidated its growth with new lines dedicated to interior trims and created its first headliners factory, where it introduced innovations such as Glasutec® that boosted its technological capabilities.

Grupo Antolin and internationalization

The Grupo Antolin was officially formed, a key step in coordinating the expanding business. Shortly afterwards, the first establishments outside Spain were set up, in countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom and France.

Global expansion and technological

The company established itself in Turkey, the Czech Republic, the United States, Mexico and Brazil, becoming a global player. The R&D&I department and the modular headliner were created and the new headquarters in Burgos were inaugurated. The decade culminated with the Prince Felipe Award for Internationalization (1999).

Multi-technology and new markets

Antolin consolidated a multitechnology approach, with advances such as the DTM® door module, and expanded its presence in Asia and Africa, positioning itself in strategic markets.

Growth and technological

The incorporation of CML Innovative Technologies, the entry into Italy, the expansion into India and the acquisition of the Magna Interiors business in 2015 propelled Antolin toward global leadership with a broader and more advanced technological offering.

A new phase begins

Antolin began a phase of transformation. The focus on sustainability was reinforced, including recycled materials, advanced lighting, digitalization and more people-centered design to pave the way for the mobility of the future.

2025, a key year in
Antolin’s history

The company reaffirmed its evolution as a leading global supplier, driven by a strategy focused on innovation, technological integration, and operational excellence.

Highlights

Antolin received the visit by His Majesty King Felipe VI to Antolin’s headquarters in Burgos on 20 October, as part of his official schedule for the Family Business Conference held in the city.

Milestones

Antolin was recognized at the 7th annual Gasgoo Awards as one of the Top 100 Players in China’s New Automotive Supply Chain. During the ceremony, held in Shanghai, the company received two awards: the prize in the Smart Cockpit category for the development of the OnBoardUX project (in collaboration with Saint-Gobain Sekurit) and, for the first time, the Best Overseas Practice Award, a newly created category that honors international best practices. This milestone marks the fifth time that Antolin has won a Gasgoo Award for product innovation and the first recognition in the overseas category, reinforcing the global reach of its solutions and its role as a strategic partner in the Chinese market.

In the Czech Republic Antolin obtained the Ford Q1 certification, a recognition that endorses excellence in the delivery of high quality products and reinforces the company’s commitment to continuous improvement through processes aimed at identifying and optimizing opportunities for improvement in production. This milestone strengthens the relationship with the customer and opens up new possibilities for the award of future projects.

Antolin was elected Best Advisory Board at the Good Corporate Governance 2025 Awards, given as part of the 2nd Congress on Good Corporate Governance, organized by the Institute of Corporate Governance. The award was collected by Emma Antolín, vice-chair of the company, during the 2nd Congress on Good Corporate Governance on 8 December in Madrid.

Antolin was shortlisted for The Working Capital Awards 2025, in collaboration with BBVA, in which it was awarded a prize in the category of Best Use of Receivables Finance. These international awards recognize best practice and innovation in capital management.

The innovation ecosystem that Antolin promotes through strategic alliances translates into tangible solutions for more sustainable mobility. An example of this is the collaboration agreement with persiSKIN, which harnesses vegan waste – specifically, surplus fruit from the persimmon harvest – to develop a natural, organic and sustainable trim for vehicle interiors, persiSKIN AUTO®. This innovation was recognized with the award for Best Project at the 2025 Innovadores Awards gala, organized by El Mundo Castilla & León, an event that acknowledges the most outstanding regional projects in innovation and research

At the 9th Edition of the HR Gala, Cristina Blanco, CEO of Antolin, received the Special “Business Leader” Award, a recognition that distinguishes those who exercise leadership with an impact on people and teams. These awards, promoted by DCH, Foro Recursos Humanos and WTC, are part of a renowned event in the sector, which brings together executives and highlights excellence, innovation and commitment in talent and organizational management.

Antolin’s collaboration with its value chain bore fruit in 2025. The collaboration with its supplier LyondellBasell and its customer Renault was recognized at the SPE 2025 European Awards for the lightweight, mono-material solution for rear door panels, which was honored for its innovative and sustainable approach.

The efforts made in relation to the supply chain have been recognized with the Procurement Trailblazer Award presented by Ivalua, a supplier management platform. In addition, Antolin attended the second edition of the CPONET Alcance 3.0 Awards, accompanying its partner persiSKIN, which won an award in the Sustainable Start-up/SME category.

During the General Assembly of the Burgos Brotherhood, Antolin was awarded the Gold Medal in recognition of its long-standing contribution over the years, having organized blood donation drives at the headquarters in Burgos. A particularly touching tribute to mark the 75th anniversary of the company, which organizes various donation campaigns throughout the year among its employees.
