Ningbo Swell specializes in the design, manufacturing, and marketing of automotive interior & exterior parts.
Valeo said illuminated front grille or panel is an essential component to the identification of a car’s brand. On electric vehicles, signature lights have been given more space at the front to accentuate the car's uniqueness. Amid this trend, more new creative fields are being opened up to car designers.
The strategic partnership between Valeo and Ningbo Swell is part of this trend, said Valeo. It will enable the two parties to offer automakers in China illuminated front grilles and panels in a single and perfectly integrated package.
