With its Research & Development centre of excellence, Tuam is Valeo’s worldwide reference centre for Vision Systems. It is one of the most innovative sites of the Group.

Profile

Originally established in 1982 as Connaught Electronics Ltd. (CEL), a manufacturer of automotive security products, the site diversified into camera systems and was acquired in 2007 by Valeo.
