📖 Full Retelling
French car parts supplier OPmobility reported 2025 margin growth and confirmed Félicie Burelle as its chief executive officer on February 25, 2026, as the company continues to pursue a diversification strategy amid challenges in the European market. Burelle had been serving as interim CEO since November 2025, following the departure of her predecessor for personal reasons. The company's operating margin improved to 4.8% in 2025, up from 4.2% in the previous year, while net debt decreased to 1.41 billion euros from 1.58 billion euros. However, revenue declined to 11.54 billion euros, primarily due to negative currency effects. CEO Burelle emphasized the company's focus on achieving synergies from its exterior solutions and powertrain segments, while continuing diversification efforts to expand in Asian and American markets to offset European market weaknesses. The company signed an agreement with South Korean auto parts maker Hyundai Mobis in January for a potential combination of their lighting businesses, which would give OPmobility a controlling stake in Hyundai Mobis's lighting division generating over one billion euros in revenue. Burelle expects to finalize this deal by the end of 2026. Despite supplying major U.S. carmakers including General Motors, Stellantis, and Ford, the company limited the impact of U.S. tariffs to less than 10 million euros due to its highly localized business model.
