Originally founded as a brake manufacturer near Paris, Valeo diversified into manufacturing a wide variety of auto components, including clutches, vehicle heating and cooling, driving sensors, and car lighting systems. In recent years, an expansive acquisition strategy has seen it grow quickly as it transforms into a technology-focused supplier to the automotive industry. In addition to being the most valuable, Valeo is also the industry’s strongest brand with a brand rating of AA-.

Magna, the second-most valuable brand in the sector, also had a successful year, driven by the launch of the new BMW 5-Series and the Jaguar SUV, the E-Pace. The recently-renamed Aptiv, based in the UK, is the third most valuable brand in the sector at US$1.9 billion, and will be looking to build its new brand quickly.
