History

The legacy of Valeo Compressors goes back to 1958 in the Japanese prefecture of Gunma when the company Tama manufacturing, founded in 1933, started to manufacture compressors for air-conditioning. Tama manufacturing was renamed Zexel Valeo Climate Control Corporation in 2000 when it absorbed former Zexel group climate control business and welcomed Valeo group as one of its major shareholders.
In 2005 Zexel Valeo Climate Control Corporation became a fully owned subsidiary of Valeo following a successful merger with Valeo Climate Control business. Since then Valeo Compressors has been one of the fastest growing product families of Valeo Group, taking advantage of both eastern and western cultural backgrounds for superior quality and performances.
