OPmobility signs with Hyundai Mobis a Memorandum of Understanding to explore a potential acquisition of its lighting business
OPmobility has signed with Hyundai Mobis a MoU to explore the potential acquisition of a controlling stake of its lighting activity. This strategic partnership, intended to enter into a final agreement in 2026, would reinforce its strong lighting commercial momentum and strengthen its competitiveness in a fast-moving mobility industry. It would notably expand its product portfolio, customer base and geographies.
A combination of the two companies’ lighting businesses is expected to increase business scale, strengthen market and technological leadership while delivering cost efficiencies. Details regarding the principles of the transaction will be determined during the upcoming negotiation process.
Félicie Burelle, Chief Executive Officer of OPmobility, stated: "This transaction with Hyundai Mobis would be a great recognition of our leading industrial capabilities and our robust product portfolio for a more sustainable, safer, and connected mobility. The potential combination of our lighting businesses would represent a strategic milestone in the development of our lighting activity, since its launch at the end of 2022. Expanding our business with additional global customers would contribute to accelerating our diversification strategy in geographies and customers.”
