About FORVIA

FORVIA is a global automotive equipment leader focused on technologies, systems, and modules supplied to original equipment manufacturers and, in selected areas, the aftermarket. The group was created in 2022 through the combination of two long-established industrial companies: Faurecia, founded in 1914 by Bertrand Faure near Paris with a first workshop making seats for trams and the metro, and HELLA, founded in Germany in 1899. The merger created a large-scale automotive technology group positioned at the center of major secular trends in the industry, including electrification, lightweight design, digital cockpits, safety systems, lighting, automated driving, and sustainable mobility. According to the company’s corporate profile, FORVIA technologies are present in one out of every two vehicles worldwide. FORVIA’s business model is built around several major technology platforms. The company develops seating systems, vehicle interiors, access and comfort modules, digital cockpits, ultra-low-emission solutions, lighting systems, automotive electronics, and vehicle electrification technologies. Its portfolio also includes lifecycle solutions, covering spare parts, workshop solutions, and products for special vehicles such as commercial, agricultural, and construction equipment. This broad platform approach allows FORVIA to serve both automotive OEMs and, in some lines, the replacement and service market. From an industrial standpoint, FORVIA has a truly global footprint, with customers across the automotive industry and a wide international manufacturing and engineering network. The company has a strong presence in Europe, North America, Asia, and other major automotive regions. Its scale, geographic reach, and the complementary legacies of Faurecia and HELLA support its position as a tier-one supplier with the ability to deliver large global vehicle programs. FORVIA serves more than 80 automotive clients and has historically managed around 1,000 programs, underscoring the breadth of its commercial relationships and industrial capabilities. Recent disclosures show that the group is in a strategic and financial transformation phase. In 2025, FORVIA reported sales of €26.2 billion, an operating margin of 5.6%, and net debt reduced to €6.0 billion, while also announcing a planned divestiture of its Interiors business group to sharpen portfolio focus and further strengthen its financial profile. This combination of industrial depth, global scale, and portfolio reshaping makes FORVIA a notable listed French industrial company with significant exposure to the future of mobility.
