HELLA, the automotive supplier operating under the FORVIA umbrella brand, today announced data on its sales development in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 (1 January to 31 March 2023).

Michel Favre, HELLA CEO: "We have made a strong start to the new fiscal year. We were thus able to carry over the growth momentum of the previous year into the fiscal year 2023, even though the Chinese market developed modestly, as expected. Overall, the successful start to the new year therefore once again underlines the excellent positioning we have along key strategic growth areas such as electrification and energy management as well as safe and automated driving."

Successful development of all Business Groups

The Electronics Business Group increased sales by 10.9 percent to € 842 million (Q1 CY 2022: € 759 million).

In the Lifecycle Solutions Business Group, sales increased by 10.7 percent to € 283 million (Q1 CY 2022: € 255 million).
