CSP is Back!
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., July 10, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Teijin Automotive Technologies is proud to announce its new name: CSP. This rebranding, effective July 1, 2025, marks the company's transition to a standalone, privately held business and reflects its legacy as a pioneer in lightweight composite solutions.
As part of this transformation, the company is unveiling a new logo and retiring the historical "Continental Structural Plastics" name. The new tagline, "The Composites Solution Partner," more accurately conveys CSP's commitment to delivering innovative, high-performance composite solutions to its customers.
The redesigned logo features a sleek, modern aesthetic with thin lines and a forward-leaning stance—symbolizing motion, mobility, and progress. Its lighter design reflects the advanced lightweight materials that define CSP's product portfolio.
"This transition gave us an opportunity to return to a brand that is well recognized in the industry, while also giving it a fresh, contemporary update," said Kim Zitny, director of Corporate Communications. "We're excited to roll out our new brand identity across advertising, social media, and upcoming industry events. A new website will also launch later this year."
New Structure, Same Commitment
Now operating independently, CSP remains focused on building strong partnerships with leading OEMs and delivering cutting-edge solutions for the transportation industry.
CSP will continue its North American operations at the following locations:
Ohio: Carey, Conneaut, North Baltimore, Van Wert
North Carolina: Lenoir, Salisbury
Louisiana: Sarepta
Indiana: Grabill, Huntington
Texas: Seguin
Michigan: Auburn Hills (2 locations), Manchester
Mexico: Saltillo, Tijuana
Note that CSP's operations are limited to North America. The European operations previously under Teijin Automotive Technologies are not part of this transition and remain separate.

European markets set to start the week on a negative note as tariff threat weighs
Waterloo Bridge, in front of St. Paul's Cathedral, on March 24, 2025, in London, United Kingdom. John Keeble | Getty Images News | Getty Images Good morning from London, and welcome to CNBC's live blog covering all the action and business news in European financial markets on Monday. Futures data from IG suggest a negative start to the new trading week for European bourses, with London's FTSE 100 seen opening 0.1% lower, France's CAC 40 down 0.3%, Germany's DAX down 0.4%, and Italy's FTSE MIB 0.35% lower. European markets have been on tenterhooks since U.S. President Donald Trump announced earlier in July that he would impose a 30% tariff on goods imported from the EU starting Aug. 1. The EU has said it hopes to strike a trade deal before then but an agreement remains elusive. On Sunday, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick called Aug. 1 the "hard deadline" for countries to start paying tariffs, although he also added that "nothing stops countries from talking to us after August 1." — Holly Ellyatt

Trump administration sanctions Mexico over air carrier trade pact
The Transportation Department has announced a series of actions against Mexico for violating a years-old bilateral air carrier trade pact. The department said Mexico has not been in compliance with the airline competition agreement since 2022 when it took back some slots for flights for U.S. air carriers at Benito Juarez International airport in Mexico City and forced U.S. cargo planes to shift their operations to other parts of the city. 'Since 2022, Mexico has altered the playing field significantly for airlines that reduce competition and allow prominent competitors to gain an unfair advantage in the U.S.-Mexico market,' a release from the Transportation Department said. 'The United States and Mexico have an air services agreement... that commits both parties to a liberalized operating environment for all has walked away from its commitments.' Mexico has said it rescinded the slots to make room for construction at the airport, but the work has yet to materialize three years later, the transportation department contended. 'By restricting slots and mandating that all-cargo operations move out of [Mexico City International Airport], Mexico has broken its promise, disrupted the market and left American businesses holding the bag for millions in increased costs,' the release continued. The 'America First' actions enacted by the Trump administration require Mexican airlines to file schedules with the transportation department for all of their U.S. operations, mandate prior DOT approval before operating any large passenger or cargo aircraft charter flights from the United States and addressing anti-competitive issues in the market. Mexico seized slots from U.S.-based carriers American Airlines, Delta Airlines and United Airlines, as well as from three Mexican airlines -- Aeromexico, Viva Aerobus and Volaris -- to make room for the construction. 'Despite repeated outreach from the Department, Mexico has not provided any information regarding when these slots would be returned or any major construction projects at MEX will ever materialize,' the release continued. Duffy added that the United States is also reviewing trade agreements with other countries to determine if they are being violated, including pacts with some European nations.
