“The American market remains one of the most dynamic in the world. Across the value chain, stakeholders are making major industrial investments in the United States to strengthen their position, expand local production, and adapt to a rapidly evolving global trade environment.” Marissa West, Executive Vice President, Chairperson North America, and member of the Executive Committee In 2024, OPmobility opened a new plant to assemble modules in Austin, Texas, to fulfil a landmark order from a major American player in electric mobility. Over the next five years, the Group plans to build at least two additional plants in the United States to meet growing demand for mobility solutions. This growth is underpinned by a strong diversification strategy: OPmobility continues to invest in innovation and expand its customer portfolio with new players in the mobility sector, such as manufacturers of recreational vehicles and robotaxis. Today, OPmobility relies on its long-standing partnerships and is working with newer customers, thereby ensuring a forward-looking portfolio which includes traditional mobility and hybrid, connected, and autonomous mobility.
