Maurizio Martinelli, Valeo Light Division CEO: “The excellent teamwork between Valeo and RESRG Automotive will reinforce our market positioning worldwide. This extension confirms the strategy initiated in 2022 and the position of Valeo and RESRG Automotive as key players for automotive exterior.”

Today, lighting systems are everywhere to inform, guide, alert and accompany the driver on a daily basis, and also to ensure being seen from other road users. Lighting systems are constantly evolving and are more and more seamlessly integrated into vehicles, both inside and outside the cabin. By working together, Valeo and RESRG Automotive will be able to develop technologies to meet the increasing demands of the market. The Valeo lighting system will be included in the final plastic part formed and assembled by RESRG Automotive.
