Troy, MI, United States, June 10, 2024 <\/strong>\u2013<\/strong> Expleo<\/a> today announced the official opening of its new U.S. digital engineering center in Troy, Michigan. The office was inaugurated on June 6 in an opening ceremony attended by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Expleo CEO Rajesh Krishnamurthy, EVP Automotive Marcus Ganguin, city of Troy and Oakland County officials, and local business leaders from the automotive industry.<\/p>

Expleo\u2019s new 25,000 square-foot space has\u00a0been designed\u00a0to provide a comprehensive environment for a wide range of end-to-end services incorporating digital, engineering and quality services to automotive OEMs and Tier 1 companies in the region and beyond.<\/p>

In addition to an extensive office working area for engineering talent, it incorporates a state-of-the-art R&D workspace, including a large \u2018shop floor\u2019, from which to deliver engineering and IT services to auto manufacturers, from concept to aftersales services. This enables Expleo to provide a flexible environment for working hands-on with vehicles and complex test benches for future platforms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cExpleo\u2019s new R&D facility in Troy will create good-paying jobs and ensure we lead the future of mobility,\u201d<\/em> said Governor Whitmer.<\/strong> \u201cLast year, I went to Expleo in France to pitch them on coming to Michigan, and I am so proud that they have decided to bet on our state. Thanks to our strong R&D ecosystem, skilled, dedicated workforce, and growing suite of economic development tools, we can help leading firms like Expleo thrive. Let\u2019s keep going everywhere and competing with everyone to bring jobs and investments back home to Michigan.\u201d<\/em>\n\nMarcus Ganguin, EVP Automotive at Expleo, said:<\/strong> \u201cThe cars on today\u2019s roads are more sophisticated than ever, requiring\u00a0both\u00a0precision engineering and the latest digital capabilities. Our new location in Troy, Michigan is a strategically important step for Expleo, allowing us to bring\u00a0our broad expertise across domains such as electrification, quality, functional safety and digital experiences to our customers\u2019 doorsteps, where they need us most.\u201d<\/em>\n\nFrom this location, Expleo will provide a comprehensive suite of services for businesses looking to meet customer demand for the latest automotive technologies, including electrical vehicles (EV), Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and software-defined vehicles (SDV).\n\nWorking with partners, Expleo will leverage its proven experience in the automotive sector in areas such as functional safety and mechanical engineering, as well as the latest capabilities in generative AI and cybersecurity to develop safe, secure and reliable vehicles for consumers.\n\nThe Troy R&D center has 45 staff onsite today with plans to grow to more than 200 Michiganders employed onsite in the next five years. Customers of Expleo in Michigan will also benefit from Expleo\u2019s worldwide network of 19,000 experts across 30 countries with cross-industry experience delivering transformation projects.\n\nGautier Dekerle, US Business & Operations Director \u2013 Automotive at Expleo,<\/strong>said:\u201cFew places are so synonymous with the history of the automotive industry as Michigan, and we\u2019re delighted to be part of this community. We have an ambitious vision to grow our footprint in the region.<\/em>\n\n\u201cExpleo plays a key role in supporting auto OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers worldwide, from design to aftersales, while harnessing emerging technologies and engineering processes. The support of the Michigan government has been a crucial factor in helping us bring that experience and expertise to U.S. businesses through our new location in Michigan.\u201d<\/em>\n\nExpleo initially announced its intention to open a Michigan office in a joint statement<\/a> with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation in June 2023, as the governor led a trade mission to France. Its Troy office becomes Expleo\u2019s eighth location in North America and the second to open in 12 months<\/a>.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
