DEPENDENCE Compagnie Plastic Omnium is not currently dependent on any patents or manufacturing processes owned by third parties or on any special supplying contracts. In the sector of the automotive industry in which Compagnie Plastic Omnium operates, sub-contractors do not generally define the specifications for sub-contracted parts. When, exceptionally, sub-contractors are able to do so, the Group’s policy is to define contractually the arrangements for the sub-contractor to transfer the design work, in order to be able to be used with other services.
