Valeo and RESRG Automotive further their strategic alliance

Valeo and RESRG extend their agreement to address exterior illuminated surface for carmakers worldwide

16 April 2026 — Paris, France — Troy (MI), United States — Valeo, a world leader in Lighting and Wiping Systems, and RESRG Automotive, a leading global supplier of coated exterior systems and components – announce a new step in their strategic partnership. The partners will continue working on illuminated front panels but also on additional plastic-based illuminated products such as grilles, bumpers, spoilers, tailgates and rocker panels. The partnership, initiated in 2022 for Europe and North America, is also extended to include China.

Maurizio Martinelli, Valeo Light Division CEO: “The excellent teamwork between Valeo and RESRG Automotive will reinforce our market positioning worldwide. This extension confirms the strategy initiated in 2022 and the position of Valeo and RESRG Automotive as key players for automotive exterior.”

Jeff Stafeil, CEO RESRG Automotive: “By working with Valeo, we are shaping the future of intelligent vehicle exteriors by integrating lighting, sensing technologies and functional elements directly into the bumper and bodywork – delivering a unified, high-performance front-end experience.”

Today, lighting systems are everywhere to inform, guide, alert and accompany the driver on a daily basis, and also to ensure being seen from other road users. Lighting systems are constantly evolving and are more and more seamlessly integrated into vehicles, both inside and outside the cabin. By working together, Valeo and RESRG Automotive will be able to develop technologies to meet the increasing demands of the market. The Valeo lighting system will be included in the final plastic part formed and assembled by RESRG Automotive.
