About Compagnie Plastic Omnium

Compagnie Plastic Omnium SE designs, develops, and produces interactive exterior body systems and modules, energy storage and emission reduction systems for all conventional engine types and zero-emission hydrogen engines. The company is a subsidiary of Burelle SA. The company offers a complete range of hydrogen storage tanks, fuel cells and hydrogen systems. The company’s lightweight, intelligent and eye-catching exterior parts make aerodynamic and connected cars. The company supports energy transition by providing solutions for a variety of engine types, including systems for energy storage, emission reduction and new energy sources. Together with the company’s partners, it is extending its horizons to include mobility in all its forms. The company designs and produces interactive exterior body systems and modules, energy storage and emission reduction systems for all conventional engine types and zero-emission hydrogen engines. The company’s strategy is built on three pillars: operational excellence, innovation and sustainability. The company optimizes storage solutions for every engine type, from internal combustion to hydrogen. The company develops emission reduction systems and creates new technologies that are compatible with the electrified vehicles that represent the future of clean mobility. Segments The company operates through two segments, Industries and Modules. Industries Industries includes the following business lines: Intelligent Exterior Systems (IES) is dedicated to light and intelligent bodywork. Complex body part assemblies are made of injected polypropylene or composite materials: bumpers, energy absorption systems, tailgate modules, spoilers, fender supports and rocker panels. These systems enhance passenger safety and are designed with the objective of helping to reduce greenhouse gases emissions from vehicles through aerodynamics improvement and weight reduction. Clean Energy Systems (CES) is specialized in energy storage and depollution systems. CES manufactures blown polyethylene energy systems (fuel tanks for internal combustion or hybrid vehicles) and depollution systems for diesel engines. CES is dedicated to energy storage systems, emission reduction systems and the development of future energies, such as fuel cells and hydrogen propulsion. New Energies (NE), dedicated to the development of new energies, including hydrogen and associated technologies, such as high-pressure storage in fuel tanks with carbon fiber reinforcement, fuel cells and solutions for energy. In January 2022, New Energies became an independent business line by setting up its own organization and processes enabling it to adapt to the emerging market and to types of customers, sometimes very different from the company’s existing ones (heavy mobility, public transportation, rail, etc.). Plastic Omnium Modules SAS corresponds to the HBPO business line, joint venture 66.67% owned and controlled by the company. HBPO is specialized in the development, assembly and logistics of front-end modules and extends its product offering to other parts of the vehicle, such as the cockpit and the center console. The company is a leader in its three historical business lines (IES, CES and HBPO) due to its innovation capacity (customized and multi-material solutions) and its expertise inintegrating new functionalities into its products to improve the safety, connectivity and environmental footprint of vehicles. With regard to New Energies (NE), which represents a new division since January 2022, the company aims to be the leader in the hydrogen mobility market by 2030. The Plastic Omnium Group Company is organized around business line holding companies or country holding companies that hold the securities of local operating subsidiaries. The company’s entities are directly or indirectly wholly owned or controlled by it, with the exception in particular of the following three entities, which are held jointly with partners. Modules Modules include modules design, development and assembly (HBPO). HBPO YFPO: Joint venture 49.95% owned by Plastic Omnium Auto Exteriors (holding company of the IES business line). The company is the Chinese leader in exterior body parts. BPO: Joint venture 50% owned by the company. The company is the Turkish leader in exterior body parts and, as such integrated into the IES business line. In addition, PLASTIC OMNIUM GESTION SNC centralizes the support and strategic functions for the company, such as the Finance, Legal, Risks and Compliance, Human Resources, Sustainable Development and Information Systems Departments. It develops the policies, procedures and requirements which are then deployed locally and monitored through regular reporting to ensure consistency in management methods. International Presence The company’s international presence, close to its customers, gives it the responsiveness and adaptability necessary to meet the needs of these customers. Its network of 137 plants, spread across 25 countries in Europe/Africa, North and South America and Asia is a major advantage in retaining its leadership position. Customers The company’s 93 customers are mainly located in Europe, the Americas and Asia. These are mainly the traditional OEMs, as well as emerging players in the electric or autonomous vehicles sector. The company’s customers include Volkswagen Group; Stellantis; Daimler; BMW; General Motors Group; Renault Nissan Group; Ford; Jaguar Land Rover- Tata Group; Hyundai Motor Company; Toyota; and Others. The company confirmed its world leader position in its three business lines in 2021. Clean Energy Systems has produced 18 million systems. With 21 million bumpers produced per year, Intelligent Exterior Systems holds 15% of the global market. HBPO delivered nearly 5 million front-end modules.
