Akwel, classified in the Industry sector, is a listed company based in Champfromier, France, founded in 1972. Its insiders report their share dealings to AMF. Over the twelve months to 18 October 2026, 5 filings were filed, from 1 insider.
Not one open-market sale was filed. On the buying side, 1 insider reported 5 purchases totalling €161k. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price.

About Akwel
Akwel is a French listed automotive equipment and systems supplier focused on the design and manufacture of technical solutions for the automotive and heavy goods vehicle industries. The group’s historical core expertise lies in fluid management, complemented by mechanisms and, more recently, structural parts for electric vehicles. Its portfolio includes cooling, fuel, air, oil and washer systems, as well as decontamination solutions and opening/closing mechanisms. Akwel also emphasizes its capability to support hybrid and electric vehicle platforms, reflecting the ongoing shift in its product mix toward low-emission mobility technologies.
The company traces its origins back to 1972, when the Coutier brothers founded the business in the Ain region of France. It later entered a major industrial transformation in 1988-1990 with the acquisition of MGI and the creation of MGI Coutier, before listing on the stock exchange in 1994. In 2018, the group adopted the Akwel name. The business remains firmly rooted in a family-owned entrepreneurial culture, and Mathieu Coutier has served as President of the Management Board since 2015.

Akwel has built a meaningful global footprint, with 34 industrial sites, 7 representative offices, more than 8,626 employees and operations in more than 20 countries across five continents. This international network enables the group to work close to major automotive manufacturers and commercial vehicle customers, supporting local production programs and co-development initiatives. The company’s messaging consistently highlights performance, reliability, simplicity and collaboration as core values underpinning its industrial execution.
From a financial standpoint, Akwel reported 2024 revenue of €989.0 million in a global automotive production market that declined during the year. The group said its strongest product lines were cooling and fuel systems, helped by repositioning toward gas and hybrid vehicles, while decontamination declined more sharply. In 2024, Akwel also carried out operational rationalization, including plant closures and asset disposals, to optimize its industrial footprint. Overall, the company stands out as a specialized industrial supplier with a global reach, strong technical know-how and exposure to automotive cycle trends, while benefiting from the long-term transition toward electrified and more efficient vehicles.
