VALEO
Valeo is a French company dedicated to the design, production and sale of components, systems and modules for the automotive industry. Its history dates back to 1923, when Eugène Buisson founded the Société Anonyme Française du Ferodo, a company that manufactured friction materials for brakes and clutches. In 1932, the company merged with the Société Anonyme des Établissements Valeo, which specialized in lighting and electrical equipment for vehicles. Since then, Valeo adopted this name and began to expand into the European and global markets, diversifying its products and services. Today, Valeo has more than 100,000 employees in 200 plants, 59 research and development centers and 15 distribution platforms in 33 countries.
Valeo's components include lighting systems, windshield wiper systems, driver assistance systems, air conditioning systems, electric propulsion systems and passive safety systems.
