Description of legal entity the legal entity and its main tasks

FAURECIA is a top 10 global automotive technology supplier, with four key business groups: Clean Mobility, Seating, Interiors and Clarion Electronics. The company, headquartered in France, operates in 35 countries at 266 plants and 39 R&D centres with 114,000 employees.
FAURECIA's R&Ddevelopment capacities are carried by approx. 8,000 engineers and technicians worldwide and every year, the FAURECIA group's R&D teams generate various innovation projects focusing on safety, comfort, interior space management, environmental performance, perceived quality, and cost control. FAURECIA filed more than 1200 patents in 2020, putting the Group among the top companies in its sector. FAURECIA holds global leadership status in each of its core businesses. Its customer portfolio features practically every automaker around the world.
FAURECIA Clean Mobility (FCM) is the market leader in the emissions control sector. FAURECIA’s expertise covers the complete value chain of the exhaust system, for which it designs and develops products from the exhaust manifold to the tail-pipe. Their strategy is currently to find innovative solutions to drive mobility and industry toward zero emissions, and to propose services. With approximately 22,260 employees in 84 production sites and 10 R&D centres, FCM masters the full range of challenges faced by the automakers: environmental performance is a central concern. FCM has led the way by marketing both technological advances and products that over time have become industry standards. FCM supplies the major European vehicle manufacturers and is involved very early on in the vehicle design process.
Furthermore, the company technological expertise is complemented and enhanced through the active participation to international, European and national R&D collaborative projects, networks and consortia. Examples include the participation in the EU RTD (FP7 and H2020) programme on new materials and several projects in collaboration with German and French research public bodies (BMBF, BMWi, ANR, FUI).
