Business
HELLA GmbH & Co. KGaA operates as an international automotive supplier specializing in the development, manufacturing, and sale of lighting systems and electronic components for the automotive industry. The company provides a comprehensive product portfolio that includes automotive lighting products such as headlamps, combination rear lamps, body lighting, interior lighting systems, and advanced lighting technologies like SSL Micro-LED and matrix LED. In electronics, HELLA offers automated driving sensors and actuators, body electronics, energy management systems, and battery sensors for trucks and buses. Additionally, HELLA serves the aftermarket with spare parts including brake components, ABS sensors, brake pedal sensors, hydraulics, and brake boosters, delivering a broad lifecycle solutions range supported by technical services. The company operates internationally with more than 125 locations in 35 countries and generated €8.1 billion in sales in fiscal year 2024. HELLA maintains its headquarters in Lippstadt, Germany, and was founded in 1899. Recently, HELLA underwent significant corporate changes as a subsidiary of the FORVIA Group, formed from the 2022 merger with French automotive supplier Faurecia. This strategic alliance has enhanced HELLA's global market reach, especially in electric mobility, automated driving, and interior vehicle systems. HELLA expanded its product offerings in 2024 by launching brake products under its own brand, taking complete control of the HELLA PAGID joint venture, and extending its brake portfolio to cover almost 100% of brake pads and discs and over 85% coverage in brake hydraulics, including electric and hybrid vehicle models. The company also introduced innovative lighting solutions such as the first aerodynamic rear wing lighting for electric SUVs in late 2024. In 2024, HELLA divested its People Sensing business to Xovis in Switzerland, a move to optimize its core automotive focus. The company continues to invest heavily in R&D (€803 million in fiscal 2024), reinforcing its position as a technology and market leader in automotive lighting and electronics. HELLA operates across three main business groups: Lighting, Electronics, and Lifecycle Solutions, targeting original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), independent aftermarket channels, and specialty vehicles segments including trucks, buses, and agricultural machinery. The integration within FORVIA bolsters HELLA's competitive positioning by combining complementary product expertise from both companies while maintaining a high degree of operational responsibility under HELLA's brand. This enables HELLA to leverage synergies in electric mobility, automated driving, cockpit interior technologies, and lifecycle value management. HELLA’s geographic presence spans Europe, Asia, and the Americas, servicing a global automotive customer base with a strong market footprint especially in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The company has about 35,000 employees and is recognized as a significant player within the global automotive supply chain.
