FTE and Valeo

The FTE automotive Group is a German automotive manufacturing company specialized in the sector of drive train and brake system applications for the automotive industry.

FTE Automotive has become a part of the Valeo Group in November 2017. The FTE company supplies all notable automobile manufacturers and employs over 3800 employees at 11 production sites around the world.

FTE has in particular developed a great deal of experience in the sector of electronic actuators used in automatic, dual-clutch or robotic gearboxes. Indeed, these systems allow for automatic, rapid and fluid gear changes.

Thanks to the acquisition of FTE Automotive, Valeo has been able to expand its range on a strategic market in strong growth, thanks also to the development of cars with automatic transmission and hybrid and electric vehicles.

In the after-sales sector, and more particularly in that of manual gearboxes, the Valeo-FTE acquisition has brought to a complete range of original equipments (more than 3,000 original equipment items). FTE Automotive products also add to the Valeo products made up of double flywheels, clutch kit and hydraulic parts. These products are renowned for their high technology, their ease of assembly and their exceptional resistance, thus composing an unprecedented offer on the market.

Thanks to the development of its range of double cushioned flywheels, Valeo is able to satisfy 80% of the market needs. Valeo can now offer a wide range of “all in one” kits (Valeo FullPACK DMFTM, clutch kit with hydraulic bearings and Valeo KIT4PTM conversion kits with hydraulic bearings) which integrate the best parts produced by Valeo and FTE. An unprecedented association that offers an easier and safer choice to distributors and garages.
