History

The following section is an excerpt from Wikipedia's Valeo page on 28 November 2015, text available via the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

Valeo is a multinational automotive supplier based in France, providing a wide range of products to auto manufacturers and after-markets. It is a member of the CAC 40 share index.

History

The Société Anonyme Française du Ferodo was founded in 1923 in Saint-Ouen, a suburb of Paris. It first distributed brake linings and clutch facings under license of Ferodo UK. The society engaged in a diversification in the 1960s by producing braking systems (1961), thermal systems (1962), and lighting systems (1970), and electrical systems (1978). In May 1980, the company was renamed Valeo, which means "I am well" in Latin.

Valeo then engaged in an aggressive strategy of expansion, through many international acquisitions. Today, Valeo is organised into four business groups. Recent acquisitions include the engine electronics division of Johnson Controls in France.

The company's sales in China have doubled every four years, and the new plant opened in 2013 in Yangtze Delta Region, Nanjing, makes China the leading market for Valeo.
