The company says that the transaction is in line with Valeo’s strategy to reinforce its presence in high-growth emerging countries. Valeo plans to devote over 60% of its investments to these countries in order to reinforce its positions, notably in China, India, Brazil, ASEAN, Russia and Turkey.
Valeo has been present in India since 1997. It employs around 1,000 people at four production plants, in Chennai (transmissions and friction materials) and Pune (security systems and electrical systems), and at the Valeo Engineering Center India in Chennai.
The production of lighting systems and wiper systems will be launched in India later this year.
