As of 16 January 2021, Dutch-domiciled multinational car manufacturer Stellantis is Faurecia's controlling shareholder, holding around 39.34% stake, with BlackRock holds 4,73% stake. Despite this, Faurecia is run as an independent company.[2]

Faurecia's customers include the Volkswagen Group, Stellantis, Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi, Ford, General Motors, BMW, Daimler, Toyota, Hyundai-Kia, Jaguar Land Rover and BYD among others. Faurecia employs 8,300 engineers and technicians. The company operates over 300 production sites and 35 R&D centres in 37 countries worldwide, with 403 patents filed in 2017. About half of these sites are manufacturing plants operating on the just-in-time principle. Faurecia joined the United Nations Global Compact in 2004.

The company was at the core of a bribery scandal in 2006 which led to the resignation and legal conviction of its then CEO Pierre Lévi.[3]

Origins

Faurecia was formed in 1998 by two automotive component suppliers, Bertrand Faure and ECIA.[4]

It designs and manufactures seats, exhaust systems, interior systems (dashboards, centre consoles, door panels, acoustic modules) and decorative aspects of a vehicle (aluminium, wood).
