Our history

In 1914, Bertrand Faure opened his first workshop in Levallois-Perret, on the outskirts of Paris, manufacturing seats for trams and the Paris metro. Since then, Faurecia has grown to become a top ten global automotive supplier, working to shape the next generation of mobility at every turn.

Faurecia as we know it today was formed in 1997 with the takeover of Bertrand Faure by PSA-owned ECIA to create a global automotive player. In 2021, with the merger of PSA and FCA and the creation of Stellantis, a new chapter began in Faurecia’s history.
