OUR EXPERTISE

TESTING LABORATORYSabelt was the first in its industry to equip its laboratories with a dynamic testing system that simulates crashes in accordance with the stricter automotive standards. Sabelt's in-house testing laboratory ensures that products comply with ECE and FIA standards, allowing rigorous quality control at every stage of the production process and obtaining advanced product approval. With advanced testing facilities, including dynamic crash tests, durability checks and static equipment, safety is our top priority, exceeding minimum requirements.
The in-house prototype laboratory is where design concepts are transformed into tangible products. At this stage, Sabelt meticulously selects the optimal materials, patterns, and foam contours to ensure superior quality. The prototype lab enables independent product development, significantly reducing costs and accelerating time to market. It features advanced machinery including a 3D printer, a Romer 3D laser scanner, and a CNC fabric cutter.PROTOTYPING LABORATORY
SEATS PRODUCTIONSabelt's approach to seat development is characterised by a meticulous attention to detail, from bespoke design to large number production. Sabelt seats are crafted from lightweight yet durable materials, including carbon fibre, fibreglass and other innovative sustainable composites, to achieve the optimal power-to-weight ratio essential for high-performance vehicles. Sabelt's design process combines advanced engineering, Italian craftsmanship and a customer-focused approach, resulting in high-quality seats for the motorsport and luxury automotive sectors.
COMPOSITE MATERIALSSabelt, through its subsidiary Sabelt Composites located in Como, has solid know-how in composite materials. Sabelt Composites specialises in moulding composite material components such as carbon fibre, glass fibre, natural fibres with synthetic resins and ‘bio’ content. The Company employs a range of moulding techniques and has extensive expertise in the core composite technologies, including injection (RTM) and compression (WCM and SMC).
ADVANCED COMPUTATIONAL METHODSSabelt collaborates with Beond, a spin-off from the Politecnico di Torino, to virtually test component safety. Beond specializes in advanced computational method, focusing on Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations for structural analysis and design optimization. They excel in virtual validation of FEM models and follow up with physical validation through experimental testing.
TRIM COVER PRODUCTIONSabelt specializes in creating customized seats, based on a thorough analysis of customers' requirements and preferences. The expertise in trim cover production allows Sabelt to use non-standard materials and leathers, modify designs and trim covers, and incorporate personal touches such as logos, special stitching, and unique shaping materials. This ensures each seat is individually tailored to customers' specific preferences and requirements.
Sabelt, through its subsidiary Cor.Sa located in Moncalieri (Turin), has extensive expertise in the manufacturing of metal materials. The company has a particular experience in the following areas: sheet metal stamping, tool and die making, assembly, punching, welding, and heat and surface treatments.METAL COMPONENT PRODUCTION
As the leading provider of seat belt solutions, Sabelt offers customisable products for a diverse range of racing categories. The seatbelts are manufactured using advanced lightweight materials and engineering techniques to provide the highest level of protection for the driver. Over the years, Sabelt has introduced several innovations, including a Formula 1 seatbelt weighing less than 480 grams and the quick-release buckle used in endurance racing.SEATBELTS PRODUCTION
TECHNICAL RACEWEARSabelt provides tailor-made technical racewear to drivers and their teams: suits, gloves, shoes, and underwear. All Sabelt products are FIA and SFI homologated for racing applications such as F1, Endurance, Rally and more. The top range of race suits feature lightweight sandwich construction, ultra-flat seams, customization of embroidery and prints, and preformed legs and arms for increased performance.
The Company is embracing digital transformation with the objective of improving supply chain efficiency and increasing production flexibility. By leveraging predictive technology based on artificial intelligence, Sabelt is able to optimise production, reduce downtime and enhance customer satisfaction through faster delivery and customisation. Furthermore, this digital approach allows rigorous traceability for component safety, guaranteeing compliance and swift response to any safety concerns.DIGITALIZATION
