Faurecia Stock Analysis: Faurecia has an A+ lineup of customers already in its portfolio which includes some of the global leaders in the electric vehicle revolution. Being based in Europe certainly has its advantages, as the continent is home to some of the biggest automakers on the planet. Faurecia already has existing partnerships with Volkswagen, Volvo, Stellantis, Audi, Renault, BMW, Daimler, and Jaguar Land Rover. But an encouraging sign is that Faurecia is anticipating doubling its growth in the key markets of the U.S. and China by 2025. How will they do this? It has locked up partnerships with major Chinese automakers like BYD and Li Auto, as well as iconic American automakers like General Motors and Ford.

As of 2021, Faurecia is the top producer of door panels and instrument panels in the world, the third largest center console manufacturer, and the co-market leader in SAS interior modules or Steering And Suspension. Faurecia is getting more efficient in their manufacturing processes too, eliminating unnecessary tasks and reducing its total number of processes from 80 in 2019 to less than 50 in 2025, which is anticipated to lead to higher margins per factory which will increase average sales per plant from €90 million in 2019 to €120 million in 2025. These reductions will be accommodated by increased use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, as well as advanced robotics within the factories.
