    "body": "<p><strong>Burscheid (Germany), May 27, 2026</strong> &ndash; Adient (NYSE: ADNT), a global leader in automotive seating, is advancing its mechanical massage portfolio with the commercialization of the <strong>ProForce Massage Flow</strong> solution. Building on the successful launch of the ProForce platform last year, the new solution delivers expanded massage coverage, modular integration, and mass\u2011production\u2011validated technologies. The solution combines enhanced fatigue relief and seating comfort for occupants with scalable, platform-based integration advantages, helping OEMs increase flexibility and improve development efficiency. It is scheduled for production on two Chinese OEM models, underscoring Adient&rsquo;s strong innovation-to-execution capability.</p><p><strong>Moving module enabled dynamic experience<br>\u200b</strong>The Flow version features newly developed moving modules that significantly expand massage coverage to reach key fatigue-prone lower back muscle groups. Multiple massage techniques, including kneading, tapping and rolling, can be applied individually or in combination, enabling a more dynamic and customizable massage experience.</p><p>&ldquo;ProForce fundamentally redefines seat massage performance,&rdquo; explains Pierre Alain Caillault, Vice President Engineering, Adient EMEA. &ldquo;By moving beyond traditional pneumatic bladder concepts, it enables more controlled, reproducible, and ergonomic stimulation &ndash; resulting in noticeably improved comfort and a premium user experience.&rdquo;</p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n        data-component=\"image-zoom-popup\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-selector=\".release-content-image__image\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-i18n=\"data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0=\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-views-event=\"Story Image View\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event=\"Story Image Download\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-placement=\"content\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n            <img\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/40b4c4c8-217a-4cfd-a7ad-ad463c1aba38/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                                    srcset=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/40b4c4c8-217a-4cfd-a7ad-ad463c1aba38/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/ 1x, https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/40b4c4c8-217a-4cfd-a7ad-ad463c1aba38/-/resize/2400x/-/format/auto/ 2x\"\n                                class=\"release-content-image__image image-thumbnail-rollover__image\"\n                data-description=\"Credits: Adient\"\n                id=\"image-40b4c4c8-217a-4cfd-a7ad-ad463c1aba38\"\n                data-id=\"40b4c4c8-217a-4cfd-a7ad-ad463c1aba38\"\n                data-original=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/40b4c4c8-217a-4cfd-a7ad-ad463c1aba38/-/inline/no/ProForce+Massage+Flow+L%C3%B6sung+%28Credits+Adient%29.jpg\"\n                data-mfp-src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/40b4c4c8-217a-4cfd-a7ad-ad463c1aba38/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\"Credits: Adient\"\n            />\n            <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover__caption\">\n                <svg class=\"icon icon-expand image-thumbnail-rollover__caption-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-expand\"></use>\n            </svg>            </div>\n        </div>\n\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\">Credits: Adient</figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<p><strong>Platform-based design for flexible integration <br>\u200b</strong>The new solution adopts a platform based, modular design that delivers clear benefits for automakers:</p><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span><strong>Spring mounted installation with broad compatibility<br>\u200b</strong>A flexible spring mounted structure enables easy integration across different seat frame platforms.
