Gasgoo Munich-Versigent, a global supplier of automotive electrical architectures, recently held a brand unveiling ceremony in Anting, Jiading District, Shanghai, Gasgoo learned May 13 from the WeChat account "Anting Guanwei."
Versigent officially spun off from Aptiv on April 1, 2026, debuting on the New York Stock Exchange that same day under the ticker "VGNT."
Operating independently will allow the company to sharpen its strategic focus and move with greater agility in the automotive electrical architecture space, Global CEO Joseph Liotine told the ceremony. That focus, he noted, will drive system solutions for electrified, smart, and highly automated vehicles. Liotine emphasized that China remains central to Versigent’s global footprint; backed by Anting’s mature auto ecosystem, the company plans to bolster its local R&D, manufacturing, and delivery capabilities.
Jiading District is pushing to transform its auto industry toward smarter, connected, electrified, and shared mobility as part of a broader bid to become a world-class automotive hub. Local authorities pledged to keep refining the business environment, backing Versigent’s push for regional headquarters status, R&D support, and smart manufacturing upgrades.
Since entering China in 1995, Versigent has built out a full-scale R&D and manufacturing footprint in Jiading. Its Chinese operations now employ more than 26,000 people — including over 1,800 engineers — and process more than 24,000 engineering changes while launching over 700 new projects each year. The company runs 14 major manufacturing bases and two technology centers across the country. Globally, one in every six mass-produced passenger cars carries Versigent products, with its systems spanning passenger vehicles, commercial trucks, agricultural machinery, and energy storage.
