VARROC LIGHTING SYSTEMS ABOUT US PRODUCTS CUSTOMERS CAREERS MEDIA CONTACTS History The history of Varroc Lighting Systems and its predecessors is a long and storied one. The earliest company form dates back to 1879 in the Czech Republic when Josef Rotter began the production of coach lamps; the automotive lighting systems of the time. He named his company, Joro. During the middle of the 20th century, Joro was nationalized and renamed, “Autopal”, serving domestic producers such as Skoda, Tatra and Avia. The next phase began independently in 1988 when Ford Motor Company built a lighting plant in Monterrey, Mexico, called “Carplastic”. In 1993, Ford acquired the Autopal plant in the Czech Republic to support their significant global expansion. The Autopal and Carplastic businesses remained together in 2000 with the creation and subsequent spin-off of Ford Motor Company´s automotive components business, called Visteon Corporation. In 2005, Visteon´s lighting division added two joint ventures; TVAP (Pune, India) and VTYC (Changzhou, China). In 2010, TVAP was acquired by Visteon Corporation. In 2012, the Varroc Group of Aurangabad, India, acquired Visteon’s global lighting business, which included manufacturing locations in the Czech Republic, Mexico, and India and technical/sales centers in the Czech Republic, France, Germany, India and the United States. In early 2013, Varroc Group was successful in closing the transaction that included manufacturing and technical/sales in China. These businesses comprise Varroc Lighting Systems (VLS). Autopal has been renamed VLS Czech Republic, Carplastic - VLS Mexico, VLS India and VTYC (which remains a 50% joint venture with TYC Brothers) - Varroc TYC.
