FORVIA HELLA Reports Solid Sales Performance in Q1 2026

FORVIA HELLA, a subsidiary of HELLA GmbH & Co. KGaA, released its sales data for the first quarter of 2026, with currency-adjusted sales maintaining the prior-year level of €2.0 billion. Despite a 3.4% decline in global light vehicle production, currency effects brought a 2.9% decrease in sales to €1.9 billion.

The Electronics division played a crucial role in this performance, becoming the largest Business Group for the first time. Sales in Electronics increased by 2.7% to €889 million. Notably, growth in 77 GHz radar sensors and energy management components contributed to this success.

In contrast, the Lighting division saw a 10.8% decline in sales to €843 million, attributed to a weak industry environment and the phasing out of projects not offset by new launches. However, the Asian market showed positive growth.

Lifecycle Solutions' sales increased by 3.3% to €262 million, driven by demand in special original equipment and workshop equipment.
