The company is also expanding its footprint. In 2025, the company will inaugurate a new production site in Shanghai dedicated to smart automotive cameras, LiDARs, domain controllers, and chip bonding.

“China is one of the most important markets for Valeo,” said Jianmin Gu, CTO of Valeo China. “Valeo will continue to deepen its localization strategy here and increase investment in the areas where Valeo is a world leader.“

The automotive industry is undergoing the most significant transformation in its history, and China is clearly where that evolution is seen first.

“By leveraging the fiercely competitive Chinese market as a ‘fitness center’, we become faster, more advanced, and stronger here, maintaining our leading position in the market and bringing more innovative technologies and processes to support our clients worldwide,” said Gu.
