OP Mobility and Yanfeng Group are strengthening their joint venture YFPO, China’s leading manufacturer of exterior body parts like bumpers and tailgates, by contributing their respective module assembly activities and enabling the company to offer signature and decorative lighting solutions. This operation will allow YFPO to expand their product portfolio, including a differentiating offering which combines exterior body systems, signature and decorative lighting, modules, and software. After this operation, YFPO will employ around 3,000 people in China across 38 plants and one R&D centre. The integration of new activities into YFPO will generate sales and industrial synergies. It should be finalized in 2026, subject to approval by the Chinese authorities.
OP Mobility CEO Félicie Burelle says, “Eighteen years after the creation of YFPO in Shanghai, China, this agreement renews and strengthens our strategic partnership with Yanfeng Group, a subsidiary of SAIC Motor Corporation. This operation will enable YFPO to open a new chapter in its history by accelerating its development, thanks to an enriched portfolio of technological solutions that will drive market share gains, particularly among new Chinese manufacturers of electric and hybrid vehicles. By accelerating in China, OPmobility continues its strategy of geographic, technological, and customer diversification to serve all forms of mobility”.
