Valeo on Monday said it now expects global automotive production to recover at a faster rate than forecast last July. It now sees a 19% year on year increase for full year 2010 versus 16% predicted.

“Valeo is continuing to outperform its main markets and the group’s revenues in the second half should be significantly above what was expected in July,” the supplier said in a statement.

It will revise full year guidance when it announced Q3 sales on 21 October. 

In July, Valeo reported profit of EUR168m (US$225m) for the first half of 2010 compared with a year ago loss of EUR213m.
