47 2025 Integrated Report - LISI PERFORMANCE above. These components — used notably in braking and retaining systems — rely on highly controlled manufacturing processes, combining process stability, systematic quality control, and endurance over several hundred thousand cycles. LOCAL ENGINEERING AND APPLIED INNOVATION To address the specific expectations of Chinese OEMs, local engineering capabilities have also been strengthened. In Suzhou and Shanghai, teams co-develop tailored solutions with customers, adapting existing components where needed. These collaborations have led to the launch of a range of products for the local market, including high-retention clips, plastic Birds Beak clips, and localized versions of our attachment clips. This approach enables a broader and more adapted product offering while maintaining the same standards of quality, traceability, and functional safety. OUR 2030 ROADMAP LISI AUTOMOTIVE continues to expand its operations in China, with capacity extensions, automation, forging investments, and CSR initiatives shaping its local roadmap. In Suzhou, the integration of new production lines and the use of green energy are aligned with a strategy of sustainable performance. In Shanghai, a significant increase in floor space and production capacity supports business growth. In an uncertain global economic environment, LISI AUTOMOTIVE’s China strategy is a cornerstone of the Group’s broader repositioning: manufacturing locally, innovating close to customers, and turning market complexity into a sustainable growth driver. The transfer of know-how to our Chinese plant enables us to deliver highly complex products at competitive cost levels. Martin Beley, Senior VP General Manager Business Group Safety Mechanical Components.
