Profile
Automotive Products centers on automatic-dimming mirrors and integrated electronics, with extensions into digital vision and connected-car functions. Dimmable aircraft windows, fire-protection technologies, and newer safety and biometric investments broaden the mix.
Electrochromic automatic-dimming mirrors and integrated electronics form the core automotive platform. The Automotive Products line has expanded from interior and exterior mirrors to digital vision, connected-car functions, Full Display Mirror, and Integrated Toll Module products.
Dimmable aircraft windows and fire-protection technologies extend the product mix beyond vehicles. More recent additions include cabin monitoring, low-vision smart-glasses assets, and the PLACE smart-home safety portfolio.
Based in Zeeland, Michigan, its business relies on proprietary electro-optical technology developed through the mirror platform. Automotive mirrors and integrated electronics remain the structural core of the business.

Ownership
A 13F quarter can total more than the shares outstanding — sub-advisers file the same block twice, and a filer's own share count can be a quarter stale. No split is drawn from it.
