Thailand Lighting and Romania Electronics Business Expand Global Footprint

For its international operations and overseas markets, Varroc secured a new four-wheeler lighting business win for its manufacturing facility in Thailand. The company also expanded its presence in low- and high-voltage passenger-vehicle architectures through its electronics business in Romania. Together, these developments strengthen Varroc’s international manufacturing and electronics footprint while extending its participation across both lighting and vehicle-electronics applications. The Thailand award adds a new four-wheeler lighting program to the company’s overseas order base, while the Romanian electronics operation broadens its architecture coverage across different voltage requirements in passenger vehicles.
