Oribay Group Automotive
Driving innovation in auto glass and beyond
With over 30 years of experience in the automotive glass industry, we work closely with leading glass makers and car manufacturers to create new solutions that help shape the future of driving.
Our journey began in the late 1980s when the mirror button was introduced, a solution that changed the way rearview mirrors are mounted in cars. This innovation allowed mirrors to be attached directly to the windshield instead of the roof. Since then, we have continued to innovate with products like ADAS camera brackets, rain and defog sensor mounts, structural adhesives, glass coatings, and windshield electronics.
