What OPmobility makes

OPmobility is a French automotive supplier organized around four business groups since February 2025: Exterior and Lighting, Modules, C-Power, and H2-Power. Each group covers a distinct technology domain, and together they span most of what wraps around, fuels, and connects a modern vehicle.

The Exterior and Lighting group is the largest and the group's historic core. It designs and manufactures thermoplastic and composite body panels -- bumpers, fenders, tailgates, and active aerodynamic systems -- along with lighting systems integrated into those structures. OPmobility claims to be the only supplier of fully integrated front-end modules worldwide, having completed the acquisition of HBPO, a front-end module specialist, in December 2022. The group supplies body shell lighting, active grille shutters, active rollo systems, and overhead light consoles. Its One4you integrated rear module -- a single assembly combining the rear bumper, a thermoplastic tailgate, and built-in lighting -- is its current major commercial push, with ten awards across OEMs signed by end of 2025.

The Modules group covers front-end and interior assembly work at the cockpit and center console level. OPmobility handles the logistics and engineering integration required to deliver modules just-in-sequence to assembly lines.

C-Power covers fuel and emissions systems: plastic fuel tanks, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems for emissions control, and plug-in hybrid energy storage. Fuel tank work was historically the second pillar of the Plastic Omnium automotive business, and it remains a major volume line.

H2-Power covers hydrogen storage and fuel cell technology. The group includes EKPO Fuel Cell Technologies, a joint venture with ElringKlinger focused on fuel cell stack production. EKPO holds production contracts for fuel cell components in commercial aviation applications (an Airbus joint venture) as well as automotive and commercial vehicle programs. OPmobility also holds a joint venture with Shenergy Group in China (PO-Rein) focused on hydrogen tank systems.

OP'nSoft, created in 2023, develops software for OPmobility's products and services, including software for connected lighting, active aerodynamic control, and fleet-level functions.

Financial performance

Per the Berylls by AlixPartners Top-100 Automotive Supplier study for FY2025, OPmobility generated €10.2 billion in automotive-sector revenue, at a 4.8% operating margin. The margin improved by one percentage point compared to FY2024 (3.8%), driven by cost reduction measures and strong performance in the United States and Asia, per the company's own annual results presentation released February 25, 2026.

The -12.3% revenue decline shown in the Berylls study against the FY2024 base of €11.6 billion reflects a perimeter change in how the study defines automotive revenue, not an operational contraction. The company's own reported like-for-like revenue growth for FY2025 was +1.7%. Operating income reached €490 million in FY2025, an increase of 11.4% over FY2024. Free cash flow for the year was €297 million, and net debt fell by €167 million to €1.4 billion.

OPmobility employs roughly 27,400 people at 152 production plants in 28 countries, with 40 R&D centers. In the United States, the group operates 11 plants and 6 R&D centers with approximately 3,300 employees, and inaugurated a North American headquarters in Troy, Michigan, in October 2025.

Ownership and history

Pierre Burelle founded Plastic Omnium in 1946, initially producing plastic steering columns for Renault. The company extended into thermoplastic exterior systems for automotive OEMs across France and Europe through the following decades. The business remained family-controlled throughout, and the Burelle family holding company (Burelle SA) retains majority ownership today.

Plastic Omnium rebranded as OPmobility on March 27, 2024, reflecting a strategic emphasis on mobility technology beyond its plastics origins. The company is listed on Euronext Paris under the ticker OPM and is a component of the CAC Mid 60 index.

The current chief executive is Felicie Burelle, who became CEO in late 2025 -- the third generation of the Burelle family to lead the company. Laurent Burelle serves as Chairman. Christian Kopp was appointed Chief Operating Officer in March 2026 to support acceleration of the strategic roadmap.

Key acquisitions that shaped the current business include the full acquisition of HBPO in December 2022 (front-end modules), and ongoing strategic discussions around a potential acquisition of a controlling stake in Hyundai Mobis's lighting division, announced via MOU in January 2026. Hyundai Mobis's lighting business generates approximately 2 trillion Korean won in annual revenue; OPmobility was named preferred bidder.

Certifications and quality

At its scale -- 152 plants supplying Volkswagen, Stellantis, General Motors, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz -- OPmobility operates under IATF 16949, the automotive quality management system standard that is a baseline requirement for OEM supply programs at all five of those customers. The company does not publish a consolidated list of site-level certifications for external viewing, but IATF 16949 certification is an operational precondition for Tier-1 programs at this level. OPmobility also holds ISO 14001 environmental certification across its global plant network, per company sustainability reporting.

Known customers

OPmobility's top customers per its investor materials: Volkswagen Group (approximately 27% of revenue), Stellantis (approximately 14%), General Motors (approximately 9%), BMW Group (approximately 8%), and Mercedes-Benz Group (approximately 7%). Collectively these five OEM groups account for roughly 65% of reported revenue.

Named and documented programs include a Stellantis contract for the One4you integrated rear module on a next-generation European electric vehicle SUV, announced May 2026; bumper and tailgate contracts for Leapmotor International (the Stellantis-Leapmotor joint venture) in Europe, with production in Spain planned for 2027; and exterior body parts to Leapmotor via the YFPO joint venture in China since 2023. Volkswagen South America recognized OPmobility at its annual supplier event in July 2026 for partnership performance in Argentina.
