group

With 274 production facilities in 34 countries, Faurecia can support automakers with on-the-ground service, especially in high-growth emerging markets.  Focusing on product innovation, project engineering and production, the group plays a role in shaping the automotive industry around the world.

Providing flexibility to support automakers

Faurecia gears its global production system towards automakers' needs and expectations. Two thirds of the facilities producing components are specifically located to streamline industrial and supply chain costs. A third of the group's sites use a just-in-time business model. Just a stone's throw from automakers' assembly lines or even set up within their actual industrial park, these sites are capable of delivering to customer production lines in less than three hours.

Common principles for enhancing operational efficiency

Faurecia deploys the same approach for industrial efficiency - the Faurecia Excellence System (FES) - at every production plant. The 114 "Faurecia Core Procedures" ensure that the group produces the same standard and quality of work anywhere in the world. This unique system is known to  automakers and Faurecia's partner companies, and helps the group maintain its focus on the best industrial practices.

ISO 14001 for environmental performance

Faurecia has taken firm steps toward ISO 14001 certification at its 320 sites. This standard is based on the principle of continuous improvement of environmental performance by controlling the impacts of the company's business. The group has also set itself ambitious targets for reducing the use of water and energy, and producing less waste, while auditing and monitoring its facilities. Faurecia has required the same effort of its 400 primary suppliers.
