What Westport Fuel Systems makes

Westport Fuel Systems designs and manufactures alternative-fuel systems and components for LPG, CNG, LNG, and hydrogen. Its products serve automotive OEMs, delayed OEMs (D-OEMs who convert vehicles after the factory), and the independent aftermarket in more than 70 countries. The catalog runs from carburettors and multipoint injection systems to direct-injection setups, plus fuel injectors, pressure regulators and reducers, electronic control units, and certified LPG and CNG storage tanks.

The company operates through a portfolio of established gas-systems brands. BRC covers aftermarket and D-OEM conversion systems; Prins builds high-performance injection systems out of the Netherlands; Stako produces LPG and CNG tanks in Poland; Valtek makes injectors and electromechanical components; and EMER, OMVL, Zavoli, TA Gas Technology, and Westport Electronics round out the range across OEM-qualified components, electronics, and regional aftermarket coverage. The group also fields the BRC Racing Team. Recent OEM work includes the Kia Niro Tri-Fuel and Kia Sportage Tri-Fuel, full-hybrid vehicles that add LPG operation, developed with BRC on Kia's HEV engines.

Financial performance

Westport Fuel Systems Italia S.r.l. reported revenue of 230.3 million euros for the 2025 financial year, up 11.9 percent from the prior year, per its Italian statutory statements. Net profit came to 6.2 million euros, a 94.2 percent increase and a net margin of about 2.7 percent. The company reports roughly 730 employees as of 2026. The published statutory statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 are posted on the company's own site. These are audited figures for the consolidated Italia group, not broker estimates; data-broker profiles that show far lower revenue or headcount are tracking either the separate Canadian entity or stale models.

Ownership and history

The Westport Fuel Systems brand traces more than 50 years of alternative-fuel expertise, with roots in BRC, a gas-systems pioneer active near Turin since the late 1970s. The current entity, Westport Fuel Systems Italia S.r.l., was formed in 2020 through the merger by incorporation of EMER S.p.A. into M.T.M. S.r.l., which already held the BRC, Zavoli, OMVL, and Valtek brands.

In July 2025 the business changed hands. Westport Fuel Systems Inc. of Vancouver, Canada, the former parent listed on the TSX and Nasdaq under WPRT, sold its Light-Duty segment, meaning the LPG, CNG, and aftermarket operations that make up Westport Fuel Systems Italia, to Green Day Holding B.V., a subsidiary of the Netherlands-based investment vehicle Heliaca Investments Cooperatief U.A., backed by the Dutch private-equity firm Ramphastos Investments. The transaction closed on July 29, 2025 for total consideration reported at 60 million dollars. From that date, Westport Fuel Systems Italia operates independently from its Cherasco headquarters, along with its affiliates Prins in the Netherlands, Stako in Poland, TA Gas Technology in Argentina, and the MWTL joint venture in India. The Canadian company retained the heavy-duty HPDI and Cespira business and continues separately under the same WPRT ticker.

A new leadership team took over at the separation. Bart van Aerle became Chief Executive Officer on July 29, 2025, bringing roughly 30 years in alternative fuels, including a period as President of the Cummins Westport joint venture. Frank Spiniello serves as Chief Financial Officer and legal representative, and Francois Hoenjet sits on the board.

Manufacturing footprint

Westport Fuel Systems concentrates its core operations around Cherasco (province of Cuneo), Italy, where it runs the registered office and mechanical operations on Via La Morra, a separate R&D centre, the Westport Electronics plant, and administration, automotive production lines, and the BRC Racing Team across additional Cherasco sites. Beyond Cherasco, it operates an OEM plant in Brescia (the former EMER site), commercial offices in San Mauro Pascoli (the former Zavoli base), Prins in Eindhoven, Netherlands, Stako tank production in Slupsk, Poland, TA Gas Technology in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the Minda Westport (MWTL) joint venture in Manesar, India. This spread lets the group localize production and aftermarket support across European, Latin American, and South Asian gas-vehicle markets.

Certifications and quality

Westport Fuel Systems states that it holds ISO 9001 certification for Westport Fuel Systems Italia, TA Gas Technology in Buenos Aires, and Westport Fuel Systems Netherlands. It reports IATF 16949 certification, the automotive quality-management standard, for its Cherasco and Brescia sites in Italy and for Stako in Poland. The company runs an internal quality assurance and management department responsible for maintaining compliance with both ISO 9001 and IATF 16949. It also cites approvals and homologations from a range of bodies including the Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, TUV, Bureau Veritas, SGS, UL, VCA, CSI, ARAI, and TSE, reflecting the multi-market type-approval regime that gas-fuel components must clear. IATF 16949 is the sector norm for suppliers into OEM programs, and multi-site certification of this kind is what buyers expect from a Tier 1 or Tier 2 supplier. The certificates published on the company site are undated in the on-page listing.

Known customers

Most of Westport Fuel Systems' OEM and aftermarket relationships are unnamed, as is normal for a components and conversion-systems supplier. Two OEM relationships are on the public record through the company's own materials.

Beyond these, the company serves D-OEM converters and independent aftermarket channels across more than 70 countries under its BRC, Prins, OMVL, and Zavoli brands.
